Yes I see that now too. I'm trying a modified version as I live in Arizona and we usually don't have mold issues. I'm using a combination of the pool noodles with styro cups on the ends, growers here use them on frost tenet cactus, piles of leaves and a burlap rap. It is an interesting experiment in mind against mr deep freeze!
May all the figs stay cozy this winter for an abundant 2016. Best, Jodi
