COMBINATION SOIL AUGER AND SOIL CORE SAMPLER WITH SAMPLE RETAINING CAPACITY

摘要

A combination soil auger and soil care sampling apparatus has a cylindrical body with soil-cutting blades disposed at one end thereof and alternative cap and handle combinations attached at the opposite end for soil auger or soil core sampling use. In the soil auger mode, the body has an open cap with a bail and handle for augering into soil. In the core sampling mode, the body had a closed cap and handle combination and a removable sleeve insert within the body adapted to receive and hold a soil sample as the apparatus is rotated in the soil to be sampled. The sleeve insert is removeable for capping and retention of the soil sample.
