A few suggestions for making a propagation area:

Start with a 2" (5cm) layer of coarse grit or capillary aggregate, cover with 1" (2.5cm) of coarse sand (not builders sand) then lay out your soil warming cable & cover with a further 1" (2.5cm) of coarse sand.

On top of this put either growing medium for the direct rooting of cuttings; or more sand (or capillary aggregate) into which seed trays or pots of seedlings/cuttings can be placed.
