    Great video! I wish I had known of this technique years ago. Sea berries and Goumi definitely don’t root if you take micro softwood cuttings and put them under mist, ie, standard commercial technique. I never had any success with dormant hardwood cuttings either. Excellent useful information right here, well done.

    Somewhere, in storage in the shop, we have an old fish tank. Why do we care? Glad you asked. Fish tanks require bubblers! Gonna dig around storage and find that thing today. I have cottonwoods, which are a willow, and two russian olives and 3 honey locusts. I'm gonna try rhis using cottonwood to propogate my olives and locusts. I hope cottonwood helps a wee bit. Probly won't, but gonna try it.

    Genius! I'm wondering how much perlite and sand you put in the propagation bed? Do you think anything would harm the cuttings if it were pond water instead of plain rain water?

    • @edibleacres
      @edibleacres  Před 5 lety +2

      I try to be liberal with the perlite and sand in these beds... I think for watering the cuttings once they are rooting and in soil, pond water sounds great. While they are in the bubbler 'pool' you probably want clean, rain water. Less nutrient.

    Brilliant. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much. You are excellent with the level of detail you share, and I have some questions about specifics. I would love a more specific comment about how much sun they had when they were simply sitting in the water? About how many willow cuttings did you do relative to the number of Seaberries? How fussy must one be about cleaning the bubbler after this process in order not to contaminate the future projects? I will experiment with putting cuttings that are just starting to form signs of forming roots in a better rooting medium than just water, and I think I will have more success and not lose as many to rot. Thank you. :) Blessings :)

    • @edibleacres
      @edibleacres  Před 5 lety +1

      Hours of sun - probably around 4-6 hours of direct sun. I think they'd probably enjoy more but thats what they got.
      Ratio of willows to seaberry - maybe 3 seaberry to 1 willow, roughly, but that isn't from a specific observation, just that I wanted more seaberry!
      Cleaning - I wipe everything down with pond water and then a watering can with rain water and call it good. SUPER sterile :) I bet being more clean wouldn't hurt, though...
      Keep trying! I would guess I've killed thousands of cuttings to get to a place where I can root hundreds now. I'm sure I'll kill so many more in the process of learning and refining...

      I like to let the cuttings be in the soil over winter. Too much work with everything else going on to also dig them up. I figure it's a way to test if they've made good roots. In spring, I look for swelling buds and transplant or pot up the ones that handled a long cold winter, and compost the stems that didn't.

    • @edibleacres
      @edibleacres  Před rokem

      I wouldn't push it super early on. You'd do well to make sure a new plant feels VERY secure and established in your space before you take cuttings from them. 2 years would be about the minimum I'd say. You can certainly stool layer them if you wanted to set that in motion, sometimes I do that when I first plant!
