I know digging snow in is great for the soil, it is packed with nitrogen, but it is hard and cold work.Did an Eskimo tell you this? Don't forget It's only the yellow snow, the stuff you can't eat that has the nitrogen!Brian

Well I never knew that amphibian,My horticultural tutor always condemned digging snow into the ground saying that it took much longer for the soil to warm up if you did. He convinced me by burying some snow in a trench, and it was still there two weeks later, when the stuff on top had gone. No mention of it's nutrient value.Brian
