Re: Burying vines

Dear ????,

I would like to apply this toone of my plants, but I would like to have some 
more details.

Do you bury the main vine or only the side vines. Every how much cm do bury 
the vine? Do you only put some soil onto the vine or do you actually make a 
little hole around the place you want to bury.


Thanks,

Olivier Puffet
