Bench grafting technique for persimmons/peaches/etc

I vote for option #1
Put pots in ground, ( well drained area)
Cover tops (well above graft Union) with insulating mulch.
I have lost a few grafts the first year, to ground level.
Ernie Grimo , recommends covering above the graft Union with a mound of soil for first 2 years.
This has saved some persimmon grafts here .

@Barkslip @Hillbillyhort good advice, as always. Looks like I have some digging to do.
