Leawood, I think your method is very good, especially for the colder parts of the country, and it obviously works well. My method of mounding up leaf mulch, instead of digging a hole, has worked here in Tennessee. And I think it would provide adequate insulation in a winter with temperatures down to 0 to 10 degrees F. One mistake I made was that I did not completely bury the pots. Next year I will do it that way and maybe begin removing the upper layer of mulch after the coldest part of winter. I did loose some bulbs to freezing this year, but I still had plenty for a display.

Here is a picture of one container giving its last gasp. The hyacinths and daffodils are gone, and tulips have come into prominence: Greigii Red Riding Hood, Calgary, and Strong Gold, and Anemone Blanda is still hanging on.
