* * *Thanks a bunch for the quick replies Matt (how do you find time to do anything else?) The answer about where to cut is one I've been chasing for some time. The hormone I'm using is the IBA stuff. I'm guessing it's probably six of one, half dozen of the other.
* * *As for sterile soil mix, is that something you buy or something you make? I've been using those expanding peat discs, but haven't had much success. Only one take out of 15 or so. I would really like to do better this year.
* * *Would air layering sacrifice growth be more productive than cutting it? Seems like it should be because it's more of a pain to do.
* * *Anybody who wants to, jump right in and give Matt a break. I'm starting to feel like a pest.....Mike
