Take it from me - it works. Really. It isn't the most attractive of landscaping ideas, and anyone who sees the soil ball on your patio with the roots sticking up and the leaves coming out from the bottom will think you've gone batty. But you'll get the Green Thumb Award when you tell the judges you'd left what you thought was a pile of dirt sitting outside all winter, and the thing became a hosta in spring.

I would seriously do this if there wasn't a bunch of stray cats running around. Don't think I want that kind of mess to deal with.
