I remember on another forum a long time ago somebody was (outdoors) doing stuff like digging trenches and transplanting plants in sideways (like people do with shrubs to propagate kinda), bending the plant into a U (like the st. louis arch) and burying the top to get a new set of roots, and stripping and burying the plant deep like I do with tomatos sometimes....
I think it would be cool to bury a plant kinda sideways so that all the secondary branches looked like they were individual plants. Ive done experiments on tomato plants by staking down a lower branch to the soil with a metal U, covering that part in soil, and it grew roots out of that part. Then the branch kinda took off on its own, like it appreciated the secondary root system it had goin on.
Am I wrong to think roots can grow out of the plant anywhere? I mean when roots grow from a clone thats just a piece of stem....
Just wondering if anyone has experimented with any techniques like this?
