It is very difficult to dig frozen ground, there are several options for digging it. There are two original and most common ways, one way is to stretch a tent without a bottom or just a large piece of fabric. Pre -remove all the snow from the site. Put a heater, now in Russian markets a large number of different heaters of gas, electric, various capacities are offered. After some time, more precisely, a few hours after the heater operation, you can start starting directly to the dig.
How to dig a frozen ground
Start digging with a pick or scrap, take off the clogs out. At first, the shovel must be used scooping, gradually, when the pit will be deep and the earth is quite soft, you can dig with an ordinary bayonet shovel. Despite the fact that the land is sufficiently solid, do not forget about the most important thing in land work – about security, especially when it comes to business when the pit is deep. With prolonged pitch of the pit, use one useful advice – do not hold the shovel at the end of the handle, quickly get tired and there will be corns on your hands.
You can dig the ground without a tent and heater. Also exactly on the site, remove all the snow and dilute a large bonfire on the site of the pit. When the fire burns out, cover the coals with a thick non -combustible material. The heat reflected down will warm the earth faster. After about fifteen minutes – forty the coals and begin to remove the ground with ordinary scrap and a soviet shovel. When you reach the frozen earth, make a bonfire again and wait for the earth to warn, and start digging again. If you have the opportunity to carry out explosive work, drill the pits, and lay out the explosive. After the explosion, you just have to remove the clods of the earth.

All these methods are good in cases if there are free places for work and you can afford to carry out large -scale explosive work. When it comes to the need to dig a hole in a constrained space, for example, between buildings, the best way will be only a “spatular” digging, since explosive work and bonfires can lead to serious catastrophic consequences. Never do such things. If you do not feel sorry for your health – take care of those who can accidentally suffer.
