My mother and i were gardening outside when she ripped out a small plant which we were covering with weed block. We discovered seconds after that it was a bay leaf plant. Is it possible to regenerate the plant by putting it in soil and adding some special formual to make it grow roots i’ve seen it done on a gardening tv show before. I just can’t remember what they did.

I would like to plant a vegetable garden this spring . I have read raised beds are more beneficial and produce a larger yield . What material i.e. wood/ would help prevent insects in an organic farming kind of way? I thought cedar or redwood.
