Hi all,
I was just reading over this section in the book on p. 159 and I don't understand what Mel is explaining here. Could someone please help me?

I would remove all the leaves below the top set of leaves and then cover with soil up to just below those top leaves. The plant will grow roots all along the stem and the top of the plant will turn toward the sun and grow up.

I hope this helps explain it better for you. Smile
