Breaking-up Soil for Heating Cables

Sometimes the weather dictates when the heating cables should be installed and this was one of those years. The soil was dry enough and the day was relatively warm so today was the installation day. The white pvc pipe marks the side walls to the cold frame which are spaced 5 feet wide and 3 feet from each other in row. Soil in about a 5ft x 6ft area that is 8-10 inches deep is removed and then pitch forked to increase the drainage and aeration.
