well, there's really no need to stick them IN the ground unless you're worried about 'em gettin' jacked. They don't exactly blow over easily...lol...

and as far as the bark thing goes, you can do either. I like to cut the bark off first with a chainsaw, whereas some people just carve right through it & then take off what's left over with a draw knife or something...

be safe (unlike me) & go deep bro...
