Best soil for rooting cuttings? Sand works better than potting soil
(Miracle Gro), but is there something better still?

I'm lazy, so here's how I do it. I get a bag of "Ferti-Lome" potting
soil, which has a LOT of peat. I get the compressed-peat pots, and a
plastic tray. Put dirt in pots, put pots in tray. When you want to water,
pour water in the tray. It'll soak up through the peat pots. Some seeds
don't like having the peat holding lots of water, and don't do so well.
Most things, however, do just dandy.
