Kale Stem Cuttings

 If you have never taken stem cutting before, do not worry, it is not magic.


I take stem cutting from my Taunton Dean Kale every winter.


Step one:    Carefully take a few shoots from the side of the kale.


Step two:     Fill a small pot with good compost.


Stem three:  Make a hole in the compost and put the kale cutting in and firm the compost     

                     around the kale.


Step four:     Place in a cold frame or somewhere out of the weather and keep moist.




You should see some sings of life from four to six weeks, if not, try again. You can take stem cuttings from kale from Sept-March.
