Hey root,
Naw I dug them up and have them in those clear storage boxes filled with peatmoss in the garage,what I'm trying for the first time here,is to keep the soil warm and moist,and un frozen hoping to keep the worms and other critters working the soil for me.I tried something similar last year using Christmas tree mulching,and it worked to some extinct,was able to get my cannas in the ground the last 2 weeks of march,and had them flowering early in may.One of the guys I work with is a farmer and I asked him If I could get a couple bales of straw from him,well he drove up in front of the house in this big 2 ton truck with these huge round bales!LOL!900lbs a piece,20 square bales to 1 round bale,had to use my truck to move them around,that was a site to see!!!LOL Had to rope them and pull them around to get them where I wanted them,what a job that was,and to top that off only way to remove the straw from the bales is to roll it,thats another story in itself!!LOL!
