Default Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter

Make a wire cylinder with chicken wire around your plant and fill it in with leaves and such. Put a few mothballs in plastic bags with small holes in them to repel mice and other critters... After winter is over, pull out the mothball baggies and you have leaf mould mulch all ready to go. Just be sure to overfill it because it will shrink over time in the weather.
When fiberglass insulation gets wet it loses most of it's R value.
