Hi Donald, Happy Thanksgiving, no, this is the first time I've done it. I read about doing it in an old gardening book I picked up at Good Will a while back. I've had these for quite a few years now. I think I'll put them in the ground next spring. There's a lady here in town that I've corresponded with on FB that has hers in the ground and they're huge.
Wow! That is some deal you got. I had to tie mine down until the other day when I put the burlap around them. The wind would knock them all over into each other so I got some cheap nylon cord at Lowe's. It's what you see wrapped around them. I had them tied down to the orange stakes you see in the ground. I got this -
