Hi all,
I have been told that you can take soil (it is currently frozen) and suspend it in water to then be able to take a swab (as bacteria can be hard to extract from soil), but I have not been able to find a protocol? I only have swabs and the Purelink extraction kit to use as doing skin DNA samples was my primary goal.
Help would be much appreciated.

Thank you so much, unfortunately there is nothing about suspending soil in water.

I tried it and it does not work as there are too many environmental influences and you need a soil kit to beat the DNA properly.
