This is a brief overview of the system really. The propagation playlist has far more detailed videos. Tomorrow's video I will get started and you will get to see how the system works. Thanks for watching
We noticed what we thought was a dead random stick along our corner/property line leafing out this year. Turns out, there are 3 rose of sharon plants growing... barely! Guessing the previous owner planted them and they either didnt do well or they were uncared for after propagation. They are roughly 6.5 ft tall with single leader branches-and no other branching. It did leaf out and is showing flowers on that 1 branch for each plant. How do I fix them & make them bush out? Super excited to find out they weren't random dead sticks 🤣🤣
Yes, definitely. I will say that although it is renewable, a product that has to be shipped across the world is probably not actually better for the environment. I call some of those things "feel good environmentalism".
@@JimPutnam I've read from multiple sources that Canadian peat moss is sustainable. I've heard other people say it isn't too so not entirely sure. I think people may be hearing about the peat bogs in Europe when they say it isn't. I don't use a whole lot of it so I don't really care one way or the other but I think it is actually sustainable and in my opinion a better option than shipping coconut coir across the world. Just my opinion on the matter.
@@JimPutnam One statistic I've read is that 1 million tons of peat is harvested annually in Canada, while 70 million tons is created by nature every year. That to me is sustainable/renewable.
HortTube with Jim Putnam yes - I get the feeling you get a lot of nonsense comments. Love the videos, and interested in this propagation series. thank you
Hi Jim! I hope your having a good day. So, I was wondering, are you propagating already for next years crop? It seems early to propagate for next year but late to propagate for this year.. I'm a little confused. Also, when would you begin taking cuttings to winter over for next year if that is not what you are doing here... Thanks! Oh, and an off topic question about seedlings... I dropped two seeds per cell and I'd like to grow on both seedlings that germinated. Can I prick out one of the two seedlings out and plant it in its own separate cell? If yes, when would I prick it out? Shortly after it germinates or after it's grown 2 or 3 sets of true leaves? Somewhere in between? LOL I HATE to waste a seedling and feel I should have grown more anyway.. Thanks, Jim!
I said in the first video that I am super late. Also the first things I stuck are for nothing other than testing my new system. I will get to work on shrubs next week and they will all over winter in a house. Generally, June 15 to August 1 is my goal. Just late from other projects. I always overwinter perennials in a house regardless of timing though. Thanks for asking
Your content this year... 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 just so informative. Thank you. Maybe when things settle down, it would be fun to see you implement these lessons into different settings - like an apartment and large estates, rental and sky risers, sandier environments vs boggy situations.
