Default Layering

Can I successfully layer a privet hedge, and if so, what is the best way

of going about it? I have
one or two areas which are a bit thin near the bottom.

I always peg or weight stems to the ground and cover the contact point with
leaf-mould. You will need to leave it for a few months minimum to get any
results. Cuttings can do the same but less successfully though more can be
used, no real benefits either way.
