DECEMBER - Propagation

If you're keen to do something in the garden after Christmas and it's not raining(!) why not take some hardwood cuttings, it's not too late. This could be particularly useful for hedging plants, because if you’re happy to wait out the time needed for new plants to establish and develop you could grow a new hedge completely for free by taking hardwood cuttings and heeling them into a slit trench in situ
