Hi Claygarden

I took cuttings from rosemary, lavender and sage last year and really didn't know what I was doing. I just cut a couple of inches off the top of a spikey bit, stripped any leaves off as Oolalula said and shoved them in a pot of compost. I read somewhere that it's best to put cuttings around the edge of a pot til they take root and then transplant them to their own pots, so this is what I did and I now have lots of lovely new plants.

I took loads of cuttings - too many in fact, so I just stuck the spare rosemary in the ground and about half of them took.
