sawdust keeps pipes from freezing?

The frost line in Arkansas is about 6 inches. The way to use sawdust is abouve the ground where the water line runs from the pump or into a house. If you bury your pipe at least 6 inches you will not have any problem with fresing expectialy if you run water through the pipe, I leave mine driping at about 10 degrees and below. This is to protect them from fresing in the house. The water runing will keep the pipes from fresing if they are buried at least 6 inches.

Seems to me it would give termites something to eat.

Poor Boy , Old Vet, The Frost Line Here Is Only 6 Inches? I Thought It Would Be More, I Dont Think A Trench Six Inches Will Be A Problem, So If I Put The Rubberized Insulation Or Foam Insulation Around The Pipes And Tape It, And But It 6 Inches Under I Should Be Ok Then? Which Is Better The Foam Or Rubbery Kind?i Have About A 100 Foot Trench To Dig,

I use foam. Either will work. 6 inches is corect. I have not had a undergroud pipe to freese in many a year. I run water (drip) through the pipe when it gets to 10 degrees to keep the house from fresing up.
