Heave Ho
Posted By Bob on March 13, 2009
Frost 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.
