Arlon, yes, it is indeed Rokeby Hall. Have you been here? Cheers, Jeff. I haven't Jeff but the architecture rang a bell with me. My Irish side hail from the South West , co Limerick.

I do the same as FieldFest in trays of MP with clear lid on. I don't chop them as i find they're more prone to rot that way. Leave them in the longest lengths possible and don't add any other moisture , just the moisture in the MP itself. They'll start shooting along the length of the propagated roo...
