Simple, Low Cost Soil Sampler Uses Ordinary Power Drill CROPS New Techniques 24-4-6 "I designed it for myself and it worked so well we're putting it on the market," says Gerald Recker, Dyersville, Iowa, about his new low-cost soil sampler.
It consists of a 1-in. dia. soil auger on a 2-ft. long shaft. There's 8 in. of auger flighting. It's designed to be powered by a cordless drill, or you can use a 12-volt drill wired to your pickup battery. Recker says he powered one sampler with a windshield wiper motor.
The auger slips down through the center of a holding pan. When you bring the sample back up, a nipple at center knocks the dirt off and into the pan. You can quickly get several samples to mix together to send in.
The auger alone sells for $39.50. The auger, nipple and pan sells for $49.50. The auger, nipple and pan together with a carrying handle sell for $59.50.
