DIDO.1 21,086 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 I'm thinking of planting it in various places on the shoot. Nextdoor has loads of it....is it easy to pinch? Can I just take cuttings or dig the roots up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chid 6,379 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 I'd try digging a bit of it up and planting it see what happens 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,019 Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Looks like you can buy it bare root so I'd say you'd be pretty safe going and robbing some from next door this time of year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it’s the same as this mate, maybe have a chat with the neighbour first he may have planted it himself and be a useful Allie if he turns out to be a prick then nick some Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The neighbour is a work in progress....her ex husband was in the shoot so all her land is set up for shooting, unfortunately she is now dead set against it. She has given us permission to dog in off her land, I'm hoping that will extend to being able to send the beaters through two areas of her land on a shoot day, that would give us two extra drives. Her gardener is sound and has agreed to look after one side of the shoot so it going in the right direction. She's a bit of a recluse though so I thought I'd just go and cut a bit of dig some roots up if it's easy enough 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eastcoast 3,739 Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Are you not worried that it may attract elephants? I would imagine that those big hulking brutes could cause a lot of damage on a small shoot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
