Thanks John. I bought some of the larger and smaller tonight - so I'll make sure we use the smaller from now on. I'm going to give them a shot and see how they work. Certainly a lot better than the frost blanket I was using - which would hold a lot of water.

I'm thinking of trying several methods this winter, see which works best/worst.
1.) No protection
2.) Christmas lights
3.) Hay mulch with p-stem cage
4.) Leaf mulch with no cage
5.) Fiberglass insulation covered to keep dry - mulch on ground
