(12 inch) : Patio, Lawn & Garden Review: Love it! - Purchased the 12 inch soil sampler and it works wonderfully, even in my clay soil. As a beginning, hobby gardener, I was intimidated by the cost of the larger sizes and couldn't justify them. But this 12 inch sampler was very affordable and perfect for me. Quality, sturdy build and super easy to use. My family and friends are borrowing it to do their own sampling. Review: Worth the price. Amazingly useful tool for any gardener or lawn aficionado. - When first looking at this probe, I’ll be honest I balked at the price. Half a C note for a piece of metal I might use twice a year?! Crazy! After looking at other soil probes in stores and reading reviews here on desertcart (they weren’t good for most of the cheap ones) I begrudgingly purchased this one as it seemed like the best quality one at a price not approaching $100. I’m very glad I did. The quality of this tool is top notch. All the edges are smooth, there is no flex when you push it into even the driest of soil, and it has a nice large sample collection area. Does it have all the features of the AMS model? No. But for half the price and my uses it’s perfect. Regarding uses. When I ordered this I was only thinking of taking soil samples for testing and looking at grass root growth but this can be used for SO much more then that. I use it regularly for checking the soil moisture, especially with sprinkler systems, finding sprinkler lines (I do a fair bit of sprinkler work) looking at soil layers and composition, finding sprinkler leaks, probing for trenching a cable, and lots more. The ability to see all the layers of soil is fantastic and the tool does a great job going through even tough, bone dry, soil. Bottom line this is a very well made, sturdy tool that has way more uses then you might think at first. As someone who does a lot of landscape work both lighting and irrigation, and is a lawn & garden nut, I should have purchased this tool a LONG time ago. Yes the price is high for “just a probe” but compared to what they sell basic steel probe rods for at the big box store, it’s worth it. ## Features - Provides 3/4" x 8" deep core: Designed with a one-piece solid T-style handle.

With this tool, you push it into the ground and it is hollow , so it fills up inside with soil. Then you pull it back out of the ground and can remove the soil sample and see how wet or dry the soil is down like 6-8”. Living in Oregon, we have a lot of Spring rain and I wanted to make sure not to water too soon. **Q: Any success using on a residential lawn with Virginia clay?** A: It should work with clay soil smoothly with only a moderate amount of effort. **Q: How to empty soil sample?** A: Easy, just brush pt fleck soil into bucket and mix with other core samples. The probe is not totally enclosed. **Q: Is it strong enough to be pounded into the ground with a sledgehammer? Thanks** A: Its strong by hand but it's hollow so I would not pound it with a sledgehammer... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it! *by S***L on September 13, 2023* Purchased the 12 inch soil sampler and it works wonderfully, even in my clay soil.
