Here's a quick video on taking samples from your compost pile. Please watch the video and follow the instructions for taking samples.
Blue Skies
  • Each Box of Sample Cores constitutes 1 Sample (Lab Test) Ordered. 
  • At least 3-5 Sample Cores go in each Sample Box. Fill the box as best you can to provide us with a good representative collection of material.  
  • Do your best to map your sample pulls and fill the box as best you can. 
  • Make sure to Randomly Select from the area you are testing!
  • Write ALL sample information on the provided form and return it to the ziploc so we will be able to register the test on our end! Any Labels or Papers put inside the box and not in the ziploc, WILL BE EATEN by the biology in the sample cores (PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROCESS YOUR SAMPLE). 
  • Sample Material sent to us for testing is NOT returned to you unless determined to be contaminated.
