Topband: anchoring radials on/in ground that freezes

[Eric Scace]

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!
