They said I could nick some from the pub. Presumably I can just grab a
handful and shove it in some compost, like most med plants? I've still got a
potful on the boat, that'll do for tonight.

Indeedee. And it's the right time to do it. I didn't use hormone
rooting powder either when taking my cuttings for rooting - just made a
lil' hole and planted them. I did 250 plants which all sold for 3.99
this year. Sadly, not me money. Just cut of a nice soft green shoot
from top of stem - as green as you can find, about 2/3 inches, but try
to cut at a slant so that as much of the stem get into contact with the
compost when planted. It ensures more roots forming.

Boat ... you got a boat?!
