Rooting experiment update!

So no pics yet of that experiment (apart from planting) but I'm glad to say it worked PERFECTLY! So I may try that with more things to the extent I may even get sand and try that with seeds I'm trying to start as well! 

For those that don't know/recall about a month back I got this insane ideal that I wanted to use sand (specifically sand straight from the local beach and FYI should be fresh water as its Lake Michigan) that I hadn't treated in any special way what's more is that sand was put into a few dollar store containers that did not allow for drainage (the largest a big (ish) black bucket also a small grey planter and a green holder thing loosely like the tip jar where I work) then I added water till I could see the water drained off excess (like when it rained) and planted catnip and oregano in the big one left the green a little more on the dry side and put rosemary in it then put stevia in the grey one 

Well the rosemary doesn't look like *any* of my plants have grown but I pulled one up and great roots forming! Same deal with the stevia as well! So I added some lemon verbena to them as we'll as the stuff I put back into the pot after getting clippings of it (I like to grow babies near mommy I think they do better together) 

Maby ill get some pics later? I know I need to sleep tonight(day) so I can get some outher things in and get that Thai basil to uncles as well as start him a couple patchouli starts lol and grab the Thai pepper plant for here and let har out
