1.
Let covered soil box sit for an hour or more after adding water.
2.
Stir soil with trowel or fingers, then tamp soil down to desired compaction level (ideally
this would be with the probe still in the soil, just after the probe measurements are
taken).
3.
Use the trowel to dig a small hole:
4.
Push the sampling ring into undisturbed soil on the side of the hole. Try to ensure no
additional soil compaction, that is do not pack the cylinder more tightly or less tightly
than the surrounding soil (this will introduce an error in the sample).
