Same here, just let it die down naturally, mine is very early and is still going strong now, never have mulched mine, but I know that it is the proper way to do it. lol but me being me etc etc etc........... hope it grows well for you next season Snoopdog. :O)

I just let mine die back naturally and sometimes if I have spare compost I mulch it but to be honest most years I don't bother. it came through the 2 bad winters unscathed. it is as tough as old boots.
