Re: RC: keeping troughs from freezing

[Lif Strand <fasterhorses@gilanet.com>]

Julie - I've thought about sinking the troughs into the ground.  I think
that would work real well.  I haven't figured out how to find a spot to
dig that doesn't have big rocks that have to be removed first, though.
I wish there was a device like a metal detector, except for rocks.
(Hmmm - I have one of those wall stud detectors... wonder if it would
work.  I can just see myself, on hands & knees, peering at the gauge
while running it along the dirt.)  Lif
