THANK YOU! That is the first concrete answer I got after asking this around the net! I will try to keep as many leaves on (to give it a head start next spring), keep it covered so it's dark, & let it sleep on floor.
I put it in the ground Sunday (whew, it was heavy even with most dirt off), and wouldn't you know we had 3/4 inch hail storm last night. It took it just fine. I'm sure I will need help getting it out of ground in fall, but worth it! Thanks again!
