Author Garden: Ground is frozen, need to dig post holes! ND farm girl Dream Gardener Member # 10488 posted                       Ok - my hubby finally put away the last tractor. I wanted him to dig me some post holes to put a cedar fence around the front yard where I spent all fall digging new flower beds and trees to give the front yard more of a definition to it. Now - the ground is more frozen then he thought it would be. We just went out and used the cherry-fire thingy he uses to burn fields in the fall, and had the fire-torch thingy (I don't know what it's called, but it shoots fire) we kept it on the ground for a while and it's still quite frozen and he said "We'll have to wait for spring." I don't want to wait for spring, I wanted to decorate them with Christmas lights, and besides - I want the snowmobilers in the family to stay off the gardens! Any ideas? Start a fire over the areas or something? There's 6 holes I need! * * * * PattyM Plants: 487 | From: Page, ND | Registered: Aug 2006  |  Seeded: 69.178.198.6 badplanter Garden Pro!

Member # 772 posted                       We have a neighbor that has a "temp" fence.. Light pieces' of wood... as a split rail fence and they are all anchored into wooden planter tubs with dirt to hold them in and up..... They used to put up Christmas deco's on it in winter, planted flowers in the wooden planters in the summer and when they moved... they took it with them... * * * * Weezie Don't forget to be kind to strangers.

Thanks! * * * * PattyM Plants: 487 | From: Page, ND | Registered: Aug 2006  |  Seeded: 69.178.198.6 weezie13 Compost Queen!

I need to section off a small section of a large paddock for my horse. He is only allowed turnout in a small paddock for 1 month because he had surgery. Our ground is frozen and we can't set any posts for the fence but this might work! Plants: 88 | From: Port Jervis,NY | Registered: Mar 2006  |  Seeded: 74.32.24.217
