That entirely depends on what you want the outcome of your experiment to be. If you are looking at the bacterial colonies that occupy soil then yes you want to use a sterile technique so that you dont add any external bacteria to the sample.
If however you simple are investigating the contents of the dirt, and the bacteria that reside in it play little to no role, then you should be safe without a sterile technique.

Why is aseptic technique necessary for successful cultivation of pure cultures in the laboratory?
Short answer is Koch's postulates. Long answer you can't ascribe any scientific data you may gather to a bunch of bacteria on a plate or in a culture, as you won't know which of the bacteria gave you the result you observed. So if you are trying to figure out which bacteria causes a disease, inoculating a mix of bacteria won't tell you which one causes the disease. Isolating each one using aseptic technique and then inoculating individually and finding the disease in one animal will tell you which bacteria caused to disease.
