I was asked how we protected our stump/basal crown area of our plants. I feed the plants through the stump area until the plant starts producing good secondaries with the main vine around 10 feet. At that time I cover the stump for the rest of the season and check it on a weekly basis. I like to use foam insulation to cover my plants. Strong winds will blow them off but rarely will the do and plant damage.
