To carry out a soil test, one has to send a kilo of soil to the relevant laboratory. The process of collecting the soil is referred to as soil sampling and can be done in two ways. Before sampling soil in your farm ensure that:No recent input (fertiliser or green manure) has been added to the soil. When collecting soil samples scrape away any surface litter before getting your soil as it gives off the wrong indicator of soil fertility. Always get soil samples from all farm areas, combine them well in a bucket then pick a kilo per soil analysis test.
