BigDog-

Have you ever buried bananas? My newest thought is just to bury a couple of my Basjoo corms (everything else is coming inside and staying in a spare bedroom) about 4 or 5 feet deep. I had to take out some posts near the house and now have some very deep "craters" that i thought would work perfect for corm storage. I would mulch with leaves or something to fill the hole in and then put a sheet of plywood over the top and maybe a tarp over that. Maybe i'll toss a wireless weather reciever in one of the holes over the winter to track the temp? Frost line around here doesn't go deep if there is snowcover.
