would you mind elaborating on this? is this a general principle for berries?

Not all berries, it doesn’t work for blueberries, but most. soft wood cuttings work for them.
Most shrubs will root when some of the stem is buried. You can use straw, wood chips (fine), bark, or soil. Just dump organic matter on shrub, do it through out the growing season maybe 2 or 3 times. In late winter or early spring the following year you will have a whole mess of plants that have rooted just carefully dig and separate.
Honeyberries are a little slower to root I leave for two growing seasons.
Almost all are native shrubs do this.
Currants and gooseberries are the easiest.
A good resource is burntridge nursery they have put out some excellent how to propagate videos
Edible acres on YouTube is excellent even if I can’t stand the guy😂
