Checked patch area after last week's blizzard. It was melted enough where I was able to collect a soil sample for testing. The ground was thawed only 4 inches down so It took a little effort to get the next 2 inches that I needed. Soil is now drying on a table. I can tell I have a heavy clay soil because I had to break apart a number of clumps of dirt and it felt like clay. It was not easy get the dirt out of the soil collector.
I bought my soil collector on Amazon for $49.99 that went 6 inches down. There was on for 19.99 that went 36 inches down. When I read the product Q&A, it said it was not meant to be a soil sample collector. Because its length of 36 " depth, I could see myself striking an undocumented gas line, city sewar pipe, septic tank, live electrical wires, etc. Just like Wile Coyote.
