heh heh. Much is now explained that was once a mystery in my 
life: Why did one tub of cuttings rot while the other struck?
                           leaf nodes!
For the past few weeks now I've been taking fresh cuttings and 
making sure that the lowest leaf-node was under water. 
                      Success all the time! 
Not only that, but today while emptying one bin to prime my 
tower-pail composter, I came across a shred of creeper that had 
been buried under eight inches of soil in a pail for three weeks. 
There is some life left in the one broad leaf, but more 
interestingly, each of the five leaf-nodes on the ragged stem 
have sprouted roots. The force of life is strong. I have potted 
the little sucker, and tented it in a clean clear plastic bag.
