You might think of stripping some seeds from spikes and laying them on
a
bed of poor sandy soil, then covering them with very small pea
shingle.

Keep moist but not wet.

You'll have a forest of them.

Rusty: funny you should say that. I garden on sand and, when I cut one
back this morning, there were some babies growing underneath.


Not funny at all - lavender is a poor soil shrub.


Babies normally grow under gooseberry bushes.


Ah, but do babies gro normally under gooseberry bushes?

Discuss.
