Hi Tom,

What kind of rooting hormone did you use - powder or gel - assuming you used
hormones? Also, what temp and about how long before roots appeared?

Cheers, Bizmark

Hi,

Dormant cuttings work best for currants.

Initially, I used 1 liter milk bags (rinsed out) for rooting. You get to
see roots that way.

I will have loose fitting lids on my topsy-turvey tomatoes. Too much
water loss otherwise.

Later,
Tom
