Points on how to get a soil sample - and why
Fall is a timely season for
gardeners for many reasons.
One reason is that it is the
preferred time for taking soil tests
in the flower bed, vegetable garden,
lawn, and orchard. Soil tests play
a major part in establishing a new
flower bed or garden spot or pro
viding the proper maintenance on
existing garden sites.
But just what does a soil test tell
you, and why is it so important to
the success of your garden? A soil
test is like a blood test, revealing
the strengths and weaknesses of
your soil, including the levels of ele
ments such as phosphorus, potas
sium, and magnesium, pH (a mea
sure of the soil’s acidity or alkalin
ity), and recommendations on the
amounts of lime and fertilizer to
add, depending on the crop. Soil pH
is critical because it determines the
availability of the nutrients present
in the soil.
Now is indeed the time to take a
soil sample for a couple of reasons.

Whitney was born and
grew up in Warner Robins
and graduated from WRHS
in 1975. Her parents, Susie
and Jesse Cheek still reside
in Warner Robins and attend
Central Baptist Church. Both
of her sisters, DeAnne Cheek
Peck and Nannette Cheek
Soles, are also professional
musicians and teachers of
music.
A graduate of Wesleyan
College, she returned to

First, if a test
indicated that
your soil needs
lime, it will
require several
months for the
lime to actually
have time to take
its full effect on
raising the pH.
Also, it is the
time of year that
the soil’s fertility level will gener
ally be the lowest, thus giving you
the gardener a truer picture of the
soil’s needs than any other time of
year.
How is a soil sample taken? The
following points will help you take
good soil samples.
■ Use the right sampling tools.
A soil probe, auger, spade or shovel
may be used effectively. Use a
paper bag or clean plastic bucket
for soil. The zinc in metal buckets
can contaminate soil samples.
■ Avoid atypical areas in the

field or garden. Stay away from old
fence lines, hedgerows, wet spots
and trees.
■ Make up a composite sample
from each area. A composite is
made of sub-samples from several
(five to 10) spots in the area to be
tested. Sample soil to plow depth
(six to eight inches) for gardens and
flowers beds, four inches for lawns.
■ Remove any surface litter or
thatch. To use a trowel or spade,
push the tool to the desired depth
into the soil. Then push the handle
forward, with the trowel or spade
still in the soil, to make a wide
opening. Cut a thin slice from the
side of the opening that is of uni
form thickness, approximately one
fourth inch thick and two inches
wide, extending from the top of the
ground to the depth of the cut.
■ Mix the composite sample
well. Then fill a special soil sample
bag provided by the Cooperative
Extension Service, supplying all the
information asked for on the bag.
