For now there is none on the Internet for now.

I am planning to do one but it will be for fall 2011...

if you search the archives of f4f and GW you should find good info

Someone, somewhere had either a video, or still pics of how they cover up a tree for the winter.  I don't recall seeing anything on someone digging a trench and laying one over.  Man!  That's real love, eh?

Yes!  That's the one I saw.  Someone must have had a link to it like you do here.

Thanks,
