John, you don't mention any type of mulch over the pots other than hardware
cloth. Do you have any serious problem with seed surfacing in the spring due
to beating rains or the heave from alternating freeze and thaw? Do you watch
for these and punch them down?
I have plastic chicken wire over my pots (one section keeps blowing off in
my winds.) I may not be able to bring in straw to cover them. I'm thinking of
dragging out my row covers and layering them over the wire. I'm just not
sure the rain or melting snow would penetrate the cover.
My first year to deal with 10 inch mum pots. I didn't even know they made
them. Used about thirty of the ten inch and forty five of the regular mum
pots. The 10 inch contain up to fifty seed planted in three rows.
