Soil Heating Cables

Here is the area (about 5ft. x 5ft. x 1 ft deep) that is where the 40ft soil heating cables will be buried. The soil is initially excavated and then the bottom is pitch forked to increase aeration and water infiltration. Doing this about 12-inbches below the soil surface helps increase drainage and keeps the main starting area on the dryer side which should help mitigate potential issues in this very important area of the plant.
