Soil sampling is the process of collecting representative soil samples from a particular area or location for analysis. The analysis of soil samples can provide information about the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil, as well as its nutrient content and potential for supporting plant growth. The process of soil sampling typically involves taking small samples from several locations within a larger area, in order to get an accurate representation of the soil in that area. The samples are typically collected using a soil probe or auger, and are then combined to create a composite sample.
