Re:propagation using potato

Don,
The skin of the potato would keep moisture in the flesh of it, but there
would be no humidity protection for the leaf portion of the cutting unless
you put the whole thing under glass.  I'm wondering if potatoes provide
hormones or whatever similar to those found in willows that would enhance
rooting capability.

Kitty
I'd also wonder about how easy it would be for roots to penetrate the rather solid flesh of the potato and then how to you get the cutting out without tearing the roots apart.

Still, I swear the episode in question was not aired on April 1st!
