Hmmmm. Not sure what 'blend' they are going to pour. It will be about 4 feet deep - below the frost. The daytime temps vary a lot. Sometimes it's 50+. Or, it could be 12 like today.

Get a cup of boiling water and pour on ground.
Dig where it melted.
Repeat... a gagillion times.

I should just sit you on the ground and feed you beans.

That idea could work in theory. But, Ken is way too much of a little girl to come help you in the frigid cold

He said he'd come, but then he piked.

Always remember; your true friends will always help you. Even when its cold outside.

This sounds morbid, but it might be the cheapest

Contact your local cemetary's groundskeeper or caretaker and see if he will do a side job. They bury em in the winter time too and they would have the right tools to do the job.
