You might think of stripping some seeds from spikes and laying them on

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.

Is this leading to a bury a dead donkey first thread
No, that's for grapes Martin!! Don't you know nuffink?

If you have a dead donkey any hole will do.

I thought Rusty advocated a dead donkey for rhubarb, others prefer custard.

Sheesh, a dead donkey, in France, on chalkiest soil, is that they do
when planting vines, duh Martin, I know my vines, I grew one in
England. In a greenhouse Balck Hamburg, I think, anyway, if you want
good grapes anything dead in a trench will produce good grapes, innit.
