Disclosed is a method for drying soil in preparation for analysis including the steps of: (a) increasing the surface area of the soil, such as by using a soil crusher device, (b) forcing a gas through the soil wherein the gas, such as hot air, is not readily reactive with the soil, and (c) subjecting the soil to an elevated temperature that does not exceed approximately 50°C. Also disclosed is an assembly for drying soil, when used in the above method, comprising a gas supply device, capable of forcing gas that is not readily reactive through a soil sample, and a heating element capable of subjecting the soil to an elevated temperature.
