Garden Auger Soil Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Garden Auger Soil (Product Code: SLE/BL/35) is a screw-type soil auger used to collect soil samples from school grounds, garden plots and field sites for biology and ecology investigations. Its top has an eye that accepts a tommy bar for turning (the bar is not included), so students can lift a core of soil without digging a pit. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of biology lab equipment in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Key Details

What Is the Soil Auger Used For?

To take a sample, slide a tommy bar or similar strong rod through the eye, press the tip into the ground and turn the auger so the screw draws itself down. Pulling it straight up brings soil out on the screw, which can be scraped into a labelled bag noting site and depth. Repeating the bore at the same spot lets a class compare topsoil with the layer beneath, and sampling at several points gives a fair picture of how soil changes between a shaded bed, a path edge and an open lawn.

The samples then feed straight into classroom investigations: texture and colour descriptions, pH and nutrient tests, moisture and organic-matter content, or extraction of soil animals with a Tullgren funnel. That makes the auger a practical starting point for plant biology lab equipment set-ups that link soil conditions to plant growth. After use, knock off loose soil and wipe the screw clean and dry before storing it for the next field trip.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of augers needed for your class or field groups.
• Whether you already have a tommy bar or strong rod to fit the eye, since the bar is not included.
• Any length or material details you need confirmed, as these are not listed for this auger.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Garden Auger Soil, which it makes at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Field-studies departments, schools and dealers buy the auger factory-direct rather than through a hardware trader. Details such as length or material can be confirmed with the maker before you order — just ask us. See the company profile for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a tommy bar included with the Garden Auger Soil?
No. The Garden Auger Soil has an eye at the top to accept a tommy bar, but the bar itself is not included. A tommy bar or similar strong rod slid through the eye gives the leverage needed to turn the screw into the ground.

What does "screw type" mean for the Garden Auger Soil?
On the Garden Auger Soil, the working end is shaped like a large screw. Turning it draws the auger down into the soil, and the turns of the screw hold soil so that a sample comes up with it when the auger is lifted out.

How long is the Garden Auger Soil and what is it made of?
Length and material of the Garden Auger Soil are not given in our current product details. Please contact us if you need them before ordering, for example to check how deep students can sample, and we will confirm them for the auger quoted.

What can students do with samples from the Garden Auger Soil?
Samples taken with the Garden Auger Soil feed classroom investigations such as texture and pH testing, moisture and organic-matter measurements, and extraction of soil invertebrates with a Tullgren funnel, linking soil conditions to plant growth.

How should the Garden Auger Soil be cleaned after fieldwork?
After fieldwork, knock loose soil off the Garden Auger Soil, wipe the screw clean and let it dry fully before storage. Keeping the screw clean and dry helps it bite into the ground smoothly on the next field trip.

Who manufactures the Garden Auger Soil?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM manufacturer of the Garden Auger Soil (SLE/BL/35). It is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
