[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 1849, member: 13"] Hmm I don't recall any of those problems when burning AFB in Leeston. Just dug a hole a bit like you would anywhere else in NZ, put the hives in, apply diesel, light. Seemed to work ;) But here's a tip for those struggling with hard dirt. Take the turfs off and put them to one side, then use a pick axe. You can powder up the hardest of dirt pretty easily then shovel it out. Works simply enough for stuff you would kill yourself trying to get a spade into. [/QUOTE]
