The toe should be drilled at closer hole spacing and succussively broken from the front row. No drilling will cause poor breakage.

The front holes (up to the sixth row) may be simultanious filled in. It is more effective fr the removal to fill in 1 holes and then each two rows (2,3) after a delay of 6-20 hours.
