Thank you all!
I believe I'm going to try the described 'leaf bag' method in a few protected spots around the yard next fall.
The soil's generally pretty crummy though ( a LOT of clay!)... so I'll have to work until then to make that situation better.
Until then I've got to stock up on my supply of basjoos.
I didn't get many pups this year, and I've given a bunch of my larger ones away to neighbors on our block, and to my daughters' school for use as a nice 'hallway plant' in a big picture window near both their classrooms.
I'm sure I'll find a couple more at a garden center in the spring.
This time I'll know what to look for on the tag (if it's marked correctly).
