I really like what the 1126 is doing so far. Some nice growth, the main vine laid down easily, and secondaries have started growing quickly! Got all caught up with covering the vines to promote root growth. I can see why this will be a big job as the plant grows to be 900-1000 ft2. I decided to only cover the vine where the leaf nodes are. Some people make a trench and bury the vine completely. Although this would be a good way combat the on-going wind, I don't want to risk having the vines rot. My soil is on the heavier side and holds moisture well.
