Rooting Elderberry Cuttings in Soil vs Sand

In this video I show you the results of our rooting elderberry cuttings in soil vs sand experiment. We had a good idea of the outcome, but we wanted to confirm using this year's elderberry cuttings. The elderberry plant cuttings that were started in the soil did not perform as well as the ones started in sand. Starting elderberry plant cuttings in sand allows the roots to grow further unimpeded. The plant can put out a larger root system without battling against soil compaction.
