Heave Ho

Posted By Bob on March 13, 2009

frost-damageFrost has a habit of damaging things slowly.  Every spring a quick tour of the property will reveal certain things that have gotten heaved.  Sometimes it’s part of the barn floor, sometimes a patio stone.  This time the left post of the gate to the backyard seems to have gone up a couple inches.  In spite of the damage frost plays a critical role.  The constant freezing of soil breaks up larger chunks, and once we frost seed next week the freeze/thaw action will work seeds to a shallow depth and allow them to germinate.  Pretty cool.
