I don't know if this works, I am too chicken to try it out, but I have heard of people around here digging a trench and laying the pstem in that trench and covering it with soil and them some mulch. This sounds to me now( with more plant knowledge under my belt) that this is an invitation for rot, but in places without ground freezes, this could work and it would prevent dessication as well I would think.
