I've never 'trenched' them. I plant them deep & that's it. Had great crops this way.

I have tried both ways and reverted to deep planting - usually make a hole with stick and place them down. Use animal manure in the early stages to get them started well

my grandfather placed a clay field tile vertically around each plant. this forced them to grow up the inside of the tile to get to the light. this resulted in really long white trunks.
