Hey John,
I'm not sure about putting the cables around the plant in trenches. I guess if it's the only reasonable way you can do it, go for it. I believe they would work much better if the heat could radiate through the corm from the bottom of the hole though. I was starting from scratch so it was much easier for me. The cables are not supposed to touch each other, I guess because they could short out. When I plugged them in before putting them in the hole they where not super hot to the touch.

Have you ever used mini lights under mulch before? I haven't and would like to this year, I just don't want them to short out. I want to put 2 liter soda bottles full of water around the stems after cutting them and maybe run the lights around them, under the leaf pile. Kind of like a heated wall-o-water but cheaper. How have you done it in the past? You have had good luck obviously, I would like to share some ideas with you.
