Default [IBC] Why Mulch ??

Thanks all for your advice and encouragement.

I'll dig and mulch my trees this weekend, in a spot that won't get much
sunshine or wind.

Another question ..... How about drainage ??
My soil is rather clay like.
Puddles form in driving rain which slowly drains away.
Should I dig a deeper hole and put a layer of mulch below the pots, put the
pots/trees in the hole then mulch over the pot up to the first branch?

I'm assuming if they're covered in snow, they'll be frozen and won't require
water ..... right ??


Mark
It's going to be difficult looking at those snow mounds, knowing my "babies"
are buried beneath.
Am I allowed to peek ??
