Lon & everybody else;
I found an old email on my computer with some advice about rooting currants. I am planning to start 100-200 Crandall currants for sale in the spring, and would like to know if I am interpreting these instructions (below) properly.
My idea is to wait another month until dormant, then cut 6" sections of new growth (or is last year's growth also okay?), place them 4-5 inches apart - about 2/3rds buried in the ground in an unheated greenhouse, add a few inches of mulch for insulation and wait until spring.
Or, Plan B, assuming the roots won't grow much anyway until spring, can I just cram them in a big ol' feed bag full of sand/soil mix with tops sticking out and leave outside in the snow and rain until March and then plant them in pots?

If I did learn to speak proper English, who would I speak it to?

That's about the worst time to root them. Once the buds break, the cuttings won't root. Much easier to wait a few weeks and root some green cuttings under mist. Or take dormant cuttings in the fall and plant them in moist sand on the sheltered side of a building. When they leaf out in spring they are rooted and can be set out. I used to do it for a big berry nursery.
