No problem, but it gets expensive heating 100 gallons of boiling water at
a time and nothing less will have any effect.


Why so you think you would need 100 gallons? I think about 5 gallons of hot
water for each hole would be enough. Like other posters have said, how deep
could the soil possibly be frozen this early in the Winter? Do you live in
Alaska? If you do, I guess it would be real deep :-)
