Hi folks --

   Anyone had trouble with radials on/in ground that periodically freezes?  For 
example, if one buries radials ~5-10cm below the
surface of the soil, and the soil cycles through freezing and thawing, does the 
frost heave effect push segments of the radial out
of the ground?

   Similarly, what methods have worked well for anchoring surface radials 
tightly down to the surface of the soil, for soil that
will freeze and thaw?

   Replies sent offline to me will be summarized to the reflector.  Thanks!
