- It's time to grow some plants in sand! We're going to be rooting softwood cuttings of burning bush landscape plants. I've been building up to this little project video for several years now and am finally able to take some softwood cuttings of the most brilliant red burning bush I've ever seen. Glad to have the genetics on this plant!

Your video are great I love planting plants, flowers, etc! 😁🌿🌿🌺
It comforts me that another human gets as excited as I do when they pull cuttings and find roots.
You're in good company, Brian!
@@MikeKincaid79 I was very happy too when I saw lots of roots on my burning bush cuttings.
I can’t wait to get started!!! As soon as I am back home I plan to start cloning everything! 😂
Wow! Am feeling so happy in seeing these roots!
I rooted 50 of them last year with a 100% success rate.just like that 👍
Awesome! Isn't it rewarding.
Yup😊and free
@@justinmarick382 Free being the best part! The majority of my garden is cuttings or divisions I've taken from existing plants of mine or my friends, and knowing that spent very little money is deeply satisfying!
I No mine to😁
Your enthusiasm is infectious. I bet you have inspired thousands of your followers to propagate their trees and shrubs.
Haha, I hope so!
I love your videos, I also appreciate that you tell the date , because some times I don’t get to watch for weeks or months
Glad you enjoy them, Lesa, and yes, the date is very important for you!
*walks around the neighborhood with clippers in my pocket* nothing to see here carry on.... 🤣🌺
Hahaha, careful during those night ops, Karen!
Thanks for an informative and visual video! I've had a burning bush for a while now and wanted more...now I know!! Thankyou 👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your cuttings.
Thanks for being there for us buddy !!
You bet
You Bet Mike...your the best 👍
@@MikeKincaid79 So full of knowledge but u bring it across with passion and humor and make it all memorable and fun...Thanks Buddy
Beautiful roots! 👏🏼 ❤️ After learning from you I used the same method with roses and jasmine last June and they all turned beautiful and growing! It’s so exciting!!! Now I am trying to propagate green Privet Hedge! I started with 12 cutting two days ago! Hopefully they root beautifully too! Keep up spreading LOVE ! 🥰xx
Great job, Augustina! you keep propagating and I'll keep spreading the love!
Thx Mike! Enjoy watching this video. I want the burning bush too.
It's such a beautiful red in the fall.
I love asking for cuttings! Glad you do it too🌞. Most people don’t mind at all. Ty for this and all your videos 🌞
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for all the propogating videos. I just love creating new plants!!
You are so welcome! It's such a fun and enjoyable hobby that can last a lifetime. Have fun in the garden, Sharon!
Hi Mike! I wish you put a picture of that burning bush and how it looks in the fall! What a difference 2 months make! Have an amazing week! Hugs🤗💜
Yes, I'll have to do that!
Thanks Mike!🤗
So, you have become my inspiration for propagating plants! It's just amazing watching you propagate cuttings and do air layering. Started 2 fig cuttings in the sand as per your video here. They are both now in a made-shift green house and will check back on them in 4 - 6 weeks. Hope they root! 😊 And thanks for all educational videos on planting.
You’re welcome! Happy to inspire. Good luck with your cuttings!!!
Moses would be proud of you 😁
LOL
I love firebush plants! I have two big ones and I decided to plant my whole front of my house so I could make a fence with them. I looked for info how to propagate these and came across this great video. Loved how well you explained this video. I'm starting NOW! 😀
Awesome! Glad you found the video. Good luck on your cuttings.
Love propagation seeing the new roots exciting !!!
Yes, it is!
I have a burning bush. Im gonna pick up some sand and give it a try. Thanks for posting.
Have fun with it, Hal.
Tht was REALLY FUN.
Glad you enjoyed it, Kim!
Thanks Mike for another great enthusiastic and informative planning video!! EXCELLENT 💯
Oops...... ( PLANTING)
My pleasure!
wished I could've seen the burning bush you speak of. Great video!
It's in the video at about the 1:52 mark. Unfortunately it's summer in this video so the leaves are still green. I'll have to do a video about it in the fall.
I know because you have said it that the plants would be better off if left undisturbed till winter but I am glad you do dig them up to show the progress. It is exciting to see all those healthy roots. I really enjoy propagating whenever and whatever I can.
Just amazing Mike! I love your videos and you!!!
Well thank you kindly, Farm Mom!
You two get a room,lol😂😹
Mike...your energy and enthusiasm is just incredible man! I appreciate your content and dedication! 💯 I have pure appreciation for your channel keep it coming!!!!
Awe, thanks so much, Adriel!
Mike u are amazing...i also get excited about different forms of propagation. You would be a blast to hang with and learn from...i share ur passion. Josh
Yeah, it's a great hobby or business and there's no end to what you can do with it.
Another great video. Absolutely love the enthusiasm that you have! I have to admit, I'm pretty much the same when I find roots on my cuttings.🌷
It truly is magical! Have fun in the garden, Michael.
Hi Mike.. Your video is so fantastic ! I love to learning more about planting with you !😁🌿🌿
Thanks for being here and supporting the channel, Robert.
Your energy!!!!!
Man at the roots, great video.
Thanks, John.
Ok so I came across your videos a few months ago when I was researching ways to root arborvitae, (bored during the shutdown). Fast forward to today, my patio under my upstairs deck is filled with totes of cuttings from everything I own...I ordered a hoop house that I’ll set up once the watermelons are out of the way....I’m addicted. I’m in georgia so I think I’m gonna have longer to play before the cold. I realized that there is new growth all over a lot of my established plants. (We kind of have two growth seasons here). Plus anywhere I have trimmed a month ago or so has bright green new growth.
This is fun...kind of an obsession. So ....thanks????!!! Lol.
I’m going to be doing that course that you have on your website. The grow boxes look perfect.
You're exactly the person I make these videos for! So glad you found a new hobby during this time. You will look back on 2020 as a great year!!!
I feel as excited as you do making cuttings, just on a much smaller scale. People have no clue If they don't do this! :D
LOL, I know! I'm trying to get the word out!!!
We had to cut down our beautiful burning bush and I hope to get a few of the cuttings I took to grow. It probably isn’t the best time of year, but I hope to be able to get it to root and save my favorite bush. Thank you for the tips!
These root really easily. You can take them as hardwood cuttings as well. This time of year, you should be able to get some hardwood cuttings. In fact, I wonder if you could cut up some older woody material further down the branch and root that as hardwood cuttings. I'll bet it would work.
How timely! I have a large burning bush I got for cheap at Walmart last year just to use to propogate! $5! Thanks, Mike!
You can find some great deals down there later in the season!
Hi Mike, please expand on your sand mixture.
Thanks
It's just sand that I got out of a sand bag. People use them for added weight in their trucks for the winter snow. You can use any sand.
Going to try experiment this on other plants. Thanks!
Good luck, Adlee!
Hey Mike. Love the video & your enthusiasm! Would love to see some photos of your bushes in the fall given the brilliant red color you have described. Can't say I have seen any of those here in South Carolina, however it doesn't mean we cannot try!
I'll try to remember to get a video up.
Great to hear about sand for growing cuttings!
It's a great medium for propagation!
Thanks
Welcome
I must say Mike that the hardwood panicle hydrangeas I started rooting a couple of wks ago is taking off. They're getting roots!
Awesome! Great job!!!
Love your enthusiasm! Course I love nature’s beauty. Thank you!
You're welcome, Shirvee, thanks for watching!
Well done! :D Love your vids!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoy them!
Passion for roots! I try to root my cuttings with no success! I have to follow your directions step-by-step! Wish me good luck!
Good luck! You can do this!!!
Nice work on those burning bushes Mike. Truly a lovely plant. We had a house fire a couple of years ago and I had a cutting from our burning bush out back of the garage. It survived because the fire department was able to save the garage although not the house. No complaint. They did a fantastic job. Anyway, my wife was worried that we had lost our burning bus as last year the cutting was slow to develop. This year It had established roots and has put on at least 18 inches and still going. Great and tough plant.
Just a suggestion. "Anyone can get sand" and use it as a rooting medium. no question, but I do like to use bark. Most home gardeners are going to start just a few cuttings (ignoring the 2 or 3 hundred I have on the go, but I am nuts). For an easy supply of bark, just get a cheap bag of fine bark mulch from your local big box store and rune it through a 1/4" sieve easily made from a piece of hardware cloth and four short boards. Works a treat. I get mine by sifting a yard from the eight or yards I get in the spring. Addiction is sometimes ok.
Take care and thanks for the videos.
Thanks for the sifting tip, Darrell. I mentioned the sand because so many people tell me they can't get bark and sand is usually everywhere.
wow mike love David
Hi Mike.....U have to love that sand.....that is some roots... I do a lot of Evergreens, roses, maples ect in sand...mix it w/ bark...
Yeah, this stuff fits the bill for sure. Drains really well, holds a little moisture, and is inert. You almost can't beat it for rooting cuttings.
@@MikeKincaid79 good job!!!....Mike keep the videos coming... for even better drainage ????? you can sift the bark and keep the bigger chunks and mix w/ sand ..... put aside small stuff from the bark for something else...... use this mixture on Lawson Cypress Maples and Cedars... plants that need super good drainage...... it is guaranteed winner....
Burning bush are beautiful plants! And they seem super easy to root. I'm gonna have to try and find one
I love the fall color.
@@MikeKincaid79 yes!
They are invasive in many places. Please check before propagating.
@@melaniegoldstine8790 thanks for letting me know. I looked it up and they are not listed as invasive in my state but a few neighbor states do have it listed as invasive. If I get some I'll definitely keep an eye on it
The birds will spread them far and wide and they don't respect property boundaries. @@JacobSimpson
So exciting so those cuttings doing well. I'm propagating my panivulata hydrangeas. I plan to make foundation hedges around my house. I have firelight and limelight varieties. Its just too expensive to buy a whole hedge of those. Hoping it goes well for me. I did 9 of each, so a total of 18. 🤞
Awesome! You've got the right idea. Yes, it's just too expensive to buy them all individually and if you have the patience, you can save a lot of money and have fun doing it. Good for you, Michelle!
Those roots are bomb.I have 3 burning bush shrubs, and one is the size of a VW Beetle. They were orphans/donated at 2 to 4 ft. tall 12 years ago. Lots of compliments on their fall showiness. Great roots = yours are going to be beasts too, like already. 👍
Thanks, Darla! I love these plants and can't wait to line the front of my property with them.
@@MikeKincaid79 🙂👍
Very interesting.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks, Louis!
Ha too funny. I took a picture in 2016 of the most beautiful azalea I ever saw. This morning I set out to find it using the photo and locator on my iPhone... I found it nearly dead but about 5 new growth shoots. I put those in my hoop house and hoping for the best! Thanks for the vid dude!
Good luck with them. This is the perfect time for evergreen azalea cuttings.
Funny to see you trying to propagate this stuff while I do everything I can to get rid of it as every spring I pull up their seedlings by the handful. Consequently, I pulled out all but one of them. As an aside, burning bush is considered an invasive species , a fact I can attest to based on how quickly it spreads, especially if it gets loose in the woods in northern NJ.
a chopstick is a good little tool working with cuttings
Hmmm You have inspired another invention idea. I will have to see how tests go!
Awesome, I love to inspire and would love to hear about the invention!
@@MikeKincaid79 It may be a while, I am saving for the coaching course I want to take to help me through the process.... and the attorney fees!
Mom burning bush hedge is just starting to change color but just found first one she dug for me by Arctic fir tree and yucca so guess I'm planting rest of smoke bushes by other peak so they can grow 20' tall like the parent plant
I love burning bushes!
Mike your killing me. I’m bursting at the seems here. No more room but now I need to go propagate something. May need to go clip my neighbors Rhododendron for a few cuttings. Just picked up sand too.
Haha, glad you're having fun. You can purge through the winter and make room for spring, lol.
Guess you would view in fall and note it to ask in spring?
Wow You are so enthusiasm! Your plants knows. 🤗
I did the same! I find the perfect awesome bush burning and asked if I can collecting seeds lol Love collecting seeds. I like your way cuttings and propagates is so easy and faster.
Mike its been long time! Hows all yours Giant Green Arbovitae Thuja? I like it! Update please. 🌼
They are doing well. I want to do an update but just haven't gotten around to it.
Very cool video. Doesn't sound like crazy I got rosemary from some lady that told me to take cuttings from it. And mulberry trees from cuttings from people's trees.
When you see the best plants, you've got to jump on them. (figuratively)
@@MikeKincaid79 aim for the bushes.... Lol
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the excellent tutorial

جميل روعتك ياصديقي تمنا لك النجاح 🌹👍🔔🤗
شكرًا جزيلاً لك ، أنا أستمتع بصنع مقاطع الفيديو هذه لك
Really enjoy watching your videos. I ❤ propagating! Ever try coleus?
I have a very mature burning bush. After trimming 3/4 of the bush in early spring, its popping lush leaves everywhere. I'm in zone 5b. Mike, this bush loves to grow! When can I take some cuttings?
Once the new growth gets about 6-8 inches long and begins to harden off a little. Usually mid to late June on through July. Here’s a fun coleus video I did: czcams.com/video/ZChLkdhj2ko/video.htmlsi=_HmdPZionI-TG-Sg
Congrats on having such rooting success with all the dogwood cuttings. If you were to plant them next spring, do you plant them individually or as a clump? If you plant individually, is it better to put in individual cups or is this why you use sand, so its easy to separate to plant?
You inspire me to try. I've got lavendar rooting right now thanks to you
Yes, they're easier to separate in the winter when grown in sand. Next spring I'll pot them up into individual pots and grow on for a couple years. Then I'll plant them out in my landscape.
In creditable. I got a ton of mulberry branches. I'm going to The Dollar tree they got those square water bottles . I got sand on the property. . I will get right on it
Have fun, Robert!
Informative and entertaining as always! I look forward to every episode. BTW, I've tried rooting roses every way I can. I'm still at 98% failure. One rose rooted from a cutting I just stuck in the ground, then covered with a small plastic water bottle (cap removed). I think it got warm enough for the cutting. One rose I DID root, from a bouquet, had all the buds in the leaf axils removed, so though I got roots, and the stem stayed alive for almost two years, there was never any new growth. I thought maybe I'd get something from a roots, the way my under stock threw up growth after I shovel pruned a rose I didn't like. I want to try to root some cut flower roses. I'm in San Francisco, an I think it's just too cool here. Have you ever used a heat mat to root cuttings?
Yep, and I have several videos about using bottom heat for cuttings.
Hi Mike, Sam from Glasgow, Scotland . I love your roses cutting setup, I’ve got a rose 🌹 that’s my favourite, it’s called Olivia rose from David Austin, is it to early to try cuttings from it.
Sam
Ps brilliant show keep it coming 👍
It's getting late in the season for rose cuttings. You can take them now or as hardwood cuttings in the winter but it will take much longer for them to root. The best time is in early summer. Glad you enjoy the show!
I see those Japanese maples back there!!!!
They're on fire right now!
I have a question about burning bush, I need to have a small stim that I need red now. I thought about the freezer, but decided to try the refrigerator. Do you know what they would do to them. If you don't know after I try it will let you know.
I want to take hardwood cuttings from my burning Bush, can you take cuttings when they have already turned red, love your videos😊👍
I'd wait until they harden off in the winter and then take hardwood cuttings. Yes, they will root from hardwood cuttings.
They are indoors I put them carefully in a shaded spot and kept them moist but no nothing
New video coming soon!
Hi Mike really enjoy your videos & info
I been trying to look for that tissue u put at the bottom of the bucket so the sand doesn’t escape at the intro of the vid the look kinda like a dryer tissues I am guessing I should drain real fast
What’s it called or do you have a link o it
Thanks
It was just something I've had laying around here for years. It's some type of weed blocker that I picked up from a garden store a long time ago. You can use any type of weed barrier that lets water drain through.
Mike, great work!
How do you re-apply rooting hormone? (you said at the end ot vid)
I said they'll put a little more root growth on through the rest of the summer. I don't reapply rooting hormone after they've rooted.
Mike why not repot them individually in your fur-bark mix you use? Awesome video, I'm doing this to my burning bush, please make video updates.
I'll repot them in the winter, once the roots are dormant and hardened off. I just wanted to quickly get them back in the sand and keep them all in one place for now.
If I start now, on the onset of winter can I keep them out or in my basement? Also vn you mentioned transfer them into the land when they are dormat in winter plz can you specify when that is ? ( my first time trying to grow a plant n I love burning bushes)
Are you in Austraila? New Zealand? If so, I'd wait until the plants go dormant and then stick the cuttings. Once they root the following spring/summer, just leave them in place and let them go through another winter. Pot up the following spring. While you're waiting for the hardwood cuttings to root, you can take some softwood cuttings next summer.
Hi Mike, what exactly is the benefit of leaving those rooted cuttings in the big pot? I thought that now would be the time to prick them out, pot individually into small pots (with soil or your sand mix) and then harden them off as you've described?
I only pulled them out for you to see the roots. The best thing to do is to just leave them in the pot and allow them to continue growing more and more roots before winter. Then let them go dormant right in the pot. In the late winter, the roots will be hard and tough and you can pull them apart and pot them up individually. This is how I do all my cuttings that I'm not making videos with. I have some videos about maples and green giants where I showed how hard and tough the roots are once they are dormant and how easy it is to pull them apart and up pot them in the spring. The trouble with doing that now is that you disturb the young tender roots and it set the cuttings back right before winter. You don't want that. Let those cuttings continue rooting right where they are.
Mike, love the videos, learned so much! Thanks. In this video you put some type of fabric in the bottom of the pot before the sand. Can you tell me what the fabric is?
Hey Craig, it's just weed barrier fabric. I just put it there to keep the sand from pouring out the bottom of the pot.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thanks 🙏 Mike.
MIKE you been looking over the fence at how i do cuttings again? you didnt do a big enough tray/ pot, i would have done at least 50 so i had some extra just incase some one wanted a cutting off my MOTHER plant yup sands a good rooting medium to do cuttings in, thanks for the extra boost of energy and excitement this morning, cant wait to see how red they are
I'll have to film the brilliant red in the fall!
@@MikeKincaid79 i used to have a bonsai burning bush someone offered me a good price for it and i let it go,, now i wish i would have kept it it was almost the same red as the maples turn but not the same, cant wait to see the fall color show
Hi Mike. I just purchased some 2 to 3 foot tall rooted cuttings. They are tall with all of the branching at the top 1/3. How should I prune to see more bottom growth? These are most likely from the common burning bush variety and I'd like to have a more rounded shrub appearance.
Wait until they have strong roots and then cut the plant back to the desired height where you want branching to start. Buring bush is pretty hardy and can handle hard pruning in the winter.
👏👏👏👏👏❤️
why am i watching this, how a heck did i got here, nevertheless, i will never need to buy any more plants. thank you for showing this technique.
Hey, welcome Lance! Glad you got here, many more plant propagation videos. Have fun and stay awhile.
@@MikeKincaid79thank you, great and simple vid... always wanted to plant lavender in the front yard since i live in zone 9, the desert of so cal.
Hi Mike. I stuck some hardwood rose cuttings last fall. Many of them took and some have actually produced flowers. How long should I wait to separate and re-pot them?
Awesome! I'd wait until they are dormant and separate them in the late winter.
Hello I was wondering if I could try to root the burning bush from a branch in soil if I have no sand? Thanks
Yes, you can try soil but you may have better luck with hardwood cuttings.
Hi Mike. I just want to say that I enjoy watching your vlogs so much. I love plants of all types but have never had a lot of luck with anything. I am hoping to learn from you what I am doing wrong, because I believe I can have that "green thumb" after all. I have a question for you, so here goes. I have watched you for a little while now and I notice you clipping the leaves at the top of your cutting back halfway. Why do you do that and do I need to do that to anything I try to root?
It cuts down on the moisture loss through the leaves of the cutting. It also saves room in the propagation frame for more cuttings!
What a great video! I am super stoked to propagate some of burning bush this season. I live in zone 7a and am trying to figure out the best time this growing season to start my cuttings. Any advice would be much appreciated. 1:53
Late June or early July should work well.
@@MikeKincaid79 Sounds like a plan. My current hedge row of burning bush is starting its 3 year in the ground. Looking forward to extending the row with similar genetics. Appreciate the info and response 👍
@@MikeKincaid79 circling back with another quick question. Some my burning bush have yellowish leaves. Given lack of rain, I do not think it’s cause of too much water.
Are you familiar with iron chlorosis? I have some pictures but unsure how to post them on CZcams comments. If you have a link to a good product, I’d be happy to follow it
Thanks again!
Would rose cuttings propogate in sand with a high PH, such as limestone sand? If yes, would it work better if mixed with compost and / or perlite?
You could root in the sand and water with distilled water. That would drive the ph down.
What kind of sand did you plant them in or can I just use beach sand from our beach on Lake Ontario in Olcott NY
Just regular sand. You can use beach sand, just rinse it first.
Mike, those are some healthy new little shrubs! Is it too late to take cuttings from my burning bush to propagate now? You've turned me into a propagating maniac! Have you ever tried propagating a hardy hibiscus plant from cuttings? I'm talking about the herbaceous variety of hibiscus, not the tropical ones, or the Rose of Sharron (Althea). I would love to see a video on this sometime. Thanks ~Margie
Lol, sorry to continue infecting you, Margie, haha. I've actually made a video about the hibiscus with some other cuttings about 3 years ago but it's not specifically about them. I need to do this because I get a lot of requests for it.
@@MikeKincaid79 That would be wonderful, and if I lived anywhere near you, I'd give you cuttings of mine!
@@MikeKincaid79 Is this the video that you were referring to? czcams.com/video/Gr4qn7Ir2Ac/video.html However, in this video you stick cuttings of several different shrubs including the shrub Rose of Sharon. I was asking about the herbaceous hardy hibiscus that dies back to the ground every year (like a peony). That's the one I would like you to do a propagation video on, these have huge 8 to 9-inch blooms.
Do you repot each cutting individually or 2 or 3 in one pot in the winter?
I repot individually in the late winter just before they break dormancy.
Wow! That's really exciting! I have two burning bushes and tried to root some cuttings a couple of years ago. I didn't have any success but I will try again next spring using this method!
I know it will work well for you!
Love your videos! Jw, does the type of sand matter? I usually buy the play sand, but yours is black.... is it amended sand?
Also, I've been having issues with Silver mound artemisia- do you have any knowledge of those and can do a video? Thank you!
The sand doesn't matter as long as it drains well. Mine was just plain sand from a sand bag I had in my pickup for added weight. I've never worked with that plant but it sure looks pretty.
Hi what time of year can I propagate Royal purple bush ? Thanks for any help it's just turning green leaves just now
Take cuttings mid summer after the new wood has started hardening off a little. About the same time as English Laurel.
How do you transplant from sand to soil? Do you try to get all the sand off the roots or keep the roots in the sand and try not to disturb them?
Wait until late winter while they're dormant. Pull the cuttings out and shake the sand off. Re-plant in potting soil.
I'm sorry if I missed this, but how are you storing it during the dormant months, and is it necessary to water the cuttings during that time?
Here's a whole playlist of my videos about overwintering: czcams.com/play/PLpmpssr45yfMtl3yav-vy1qGsTDdTVWSl.html
What brand and type of rooting powder do you use for the burning bush? I noticed that there are different levels of strength.
Any rooting hormone will work with this plant.
What is ur openion about cenamon and honey as a rooting ?
czcams.com/video/dQPQ2myM2Dk/video.html
Just plain old sandbox sand?? Or do you mix it with soil?
Just plain old sandbox sand.
Would a heating mat benefit root development?
Yes!
What climate zone are the plants overwintering in? How would you recommend overwintering in Wisconsin?
I'm in zone 8b, which is a great deal warmer than your area. I have a playlist about overwintering plants, if you're interested: czcams.com/play/PLpmpssr45yfMtl3yav-vy1qGsTDdTVWSl.html
Thank you very much. Love your videos!
Thanks a lot mike. I m plants lover. My dear can you guide me about B. BUSH??? yesterday i got B. BUSH cutting & seeds from canada but cutting growing season will start in december / January in pakistan islamabad. i applied chloro-pyre-phos liqued and buried all cutting togather in sandy mud. can i graft with winter creeper now??? what is the season for B. BUSH seeds growing??? plz any helpfull information can you give me. i dont want to loose cuttings & seeds. I LOVE B. BUSH PLANT. Regards.
I have 1.8 acres of land and dying to do this. after you let the cuttins winter and transfer to a pot...when do you actually put them in ground? How long before i start seeing a "bush".
I think you might be interested in the videos on my website. I go into great detail about everything I do and answer all your questions there. For a nominal 1 time fee, you get access to 6 hours of video. There's a link in the description of every video. By the way, you're starting out like I did, a lot of land and a desire to landscape it for next to nothing.
Can you do fruit trees in sand like pear
