As fall aproaches and as the temperature drops, when does the soil freeze?

when the moisture in the soil reaches 32 degrees F or 0 degrees C- regardless of the air temperature. There's no magic date- it varies depending on where you are- sooner in colder areas, etc.

Depends on where you are. In northern Maine, they are no doubt already experiencing frozen soil ,at night at least. Where I am in New England though, it hasn't been cold enough yet for that. We haven't yet had a frost either. Here the soil won't freeze until sometime in November probably.
