Easily Propagate New Grapevines with Stool Layering

Using a technique I learned from the great permaculture channel Edible Acres, I'm propagating more of my Niagara grapevine through the process of stool layer.
In the typical stool layer method, or what's also known as mound layering, you pile up earth around the base of a plant and the portion of the plant that's underground will sprout new roots.
With grapevines and some other vining plants, you can achieve the same results, but you actually have to bury the vine. Using one-year old wood, you lay down the vine and cover each leaf union with with dirt, mulch, or compost. By the end of the season, you should have roots emerge and can cut each separate leaf -- which by this point should have grown into a separate vine -- and now have a new plant.
