Hi Paul & All,
But Paul, there are some places in NS where bananas don't do well. =
And frost penetration is a function exposure to wind, slope and =
insulation. =20
Up here we had 6-8 weeks of extreme windchill with no snow cover. =
And many weeks of constant runoff with tile drains, which worked well =
for 10 years, plugged solid.=20
My information source runs an excavator for a living so I expect he =
knows more than most about frost depth in 2018-19.
