what are the advantages/disadvantages of doing this?
The biggest advantage is not having to dig it up in regions where a typical winter would kill it. It's a laborious and time consuming job, not to mention, hard on the lower back to unearth these as they get larger.

The biggest disadvantage is for someone who's not good with power tools. It's a simple project but it's not for everyone I guess.
