I don't think polythene will help, the rainwater will still leach into the
ground from round the sides.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking about keeping them bone dry, but just stopping them
from being waterlogged for long periods. I've heard it suggested that
they'll survive below -5C with a good mulch, but they'll quickly rot if
they're left soaking.

Also, digging them up could possibly result in me getting all dirty and
tired


Yes but you won't rot - probably. ;-)
