This soil probe has an overall length of 21' with a 12' sample slot. All AMS probes are made of a sturdy 4130 chromoly steel that prevents the probe from bending or twisting out of shape. Also included is a removable, corrosion-resistant 10' cross-handle with comfortable grips. You can test your own soil using a basic soil test kit from The Home Depot. Inexpensive, easy and accurate, soil tests provide a wealth of knowledge about what’s going on under your feet, including the levels of pH, calcium, lime, gypsum and potassium.

Describes how to create soil core samples using simple tools: pipe, sledge hammer, wooden dowel. I developed this technique after searching for an off-the-shelf tool, but the cost was several hundred dollars-I only had a budget of about $25. I will use these core samples with my fifth grade class when teaching science lessons about soil composition and creation in my earth processes unit. The samples in the video were taken from the Piedmont region in Virginia (Arlington County), which explains the heavy clay in the samples.
