I usually just build up soil around the sides of my jugs to lock them in place, to protect them from wind and curious cats. We tend to get probably above average wind here, but maybe your area is even more windy. This year hasn't been very windy, though. You have to be careful with small plants if you remove the jugs, since the dirt around may be taller than the plants and may smother them during watering if you're not careful.
