Re: Starting seeds for spring for gardening or perennials
Did you ever consider putting a little loop of mesh or chickenwire around the base of the plants? It would be a shame for a rabbit, deer, or squirrel to sever a plant.

Re: Dioscorea Batatas?
I saw something where the roots were planted along with a split piece of bamboo so they could grow straight. It would probably help with digging them up as well.
