Take some tip cuttings of semi hard wood (at the rooting end) about 5" long, strip off the lower leaves for two thirds of the length and slip them into the soil or a pot. Rosemary doesn't usually need fertilizing but chicken manure should boot it along a bit and a sprinkle of lime would be welcome. _________	0 0 Alert moderator

mellylou Forum newbie - be nice! Posts: 7 Location: Queensland Registered: July 2008	RE: Rosemary Posted 122 days ago I usually prune mine before winter or in early winter and it thrives by the time the warmer weather hits. I also fertilise it with Thrive, and thats what its really doing. _________	0 0 Alert moderator
