ABSTRACT:
A method of taking soil samples consisting of the steps of; cutting at least one slit trench along a path transverse to bands of fertilizer in the soil; and taking a thoroughly intermixed sample from the cuttings. The samples are taken using a chain saw with a soil sampling attachment. The soil sampling attachment consists of a container with an open mouth having a slot across the mouth. A blade of a chain saw is disposed in the slot. Upon activation of the chain saw soil cuttings drop from the blade through the mouth to accumulate in the container. A bracket secures the container to the chain saw.
