Re: CULT:Pots:winter

Anner  --  I have used with success and recommended to others the use of
"staples" such as you describe.  They work fine in the heavy clay-content
soil in my home gardens, but not at all in the more friable (and wetter)
soil in the plots that I lease.  The rhizomes just push the pinning wires up
right along with them, or even ooch out from under them!   I find myself
having to lug a lot of bricks around.  --  Griff
