Soil sample for your plots?

Dairy one has a no-till soil sample, they focus on the first 1 inch looking for salt and nitrogen damage from excess fertilizer use, besides the regular NPK, pH. Anybody use this test? Or just the traditional 4 inches down thing. Doing a test tonight with the cheap test kits and compare what I get back from them.

Doing may 1/3 acre backyard plot, my main apple tree area nearby, and 2 plots up at camp. I got a great plot, and ok one, a so-so one getting better ph and organic matter, and a half of a plot that is very sandy.

Any special consideration with sandy soil and samples?
