I need to build up my brambles border , but have not much luck
replanting bits of root . what soil and nutrients do they need to
get
really going well ?
replanted roots bits never seem to take at all.

They root well by tip-layering. Just bury the tip of the shoot to be
layered to a depth of a few inches and secure it in position somehow.
