Bury them deep so the dirt covers them nearly completely and it wouldn't hurt to sprinkle even more leaves or mulch on top. The shoots should still be underground at this point. They push up though a couple inches of fallen leaves and debris every year at home. :~D

Ok, I went back and made them deeper, and then went and dug to the bottom of old leaves and got out the old rotting stuff and put that over them.

Here's my hole with the soaker hose running right thru it.
