Raise the beds by 40-50 cm from the ground level, thereby protecting the tomatoes from ground frost.

Peonies can however be planted right up until the ground freezes if necessary.

a month and a half before the ground freezes, the sorrel must be cut.

Areas subject to the ground freezing in winter use dry-barrel hydrants.

To see the ground thawing after a long freeze, foretells prosperous circumstances.

Successful arrangement is possible only if the freezing of the soil is not more than 1.5 meters from the soil surface.

Frost heaving caused by alternate freezing and thawing of the soil can also a major problem.

Depth is determined by the composition and degree of freezing of the soil, as well as the height of the aboveground part.

If the ground is damp and the foundations are close to the frost line, it is best to leave a non-insulated space at the base of the wall so that the heat from the building can be transmitted to the underlying soil.

For instance, frozen soil conditions contribute to stability of mine tailings, while thawed soil conditions are necessary for agriculture.
