Thanks, Have really enoyed watching your videos, it's great watching someone else in a australia, because our growing time are very similar, we are inTassie. Just wondering, what started you off on this journey of growing your own food. And how many people do you grow for? family or just self?
christian, thanks for all the videos. they are really helpful esp now i am trying to learn how to garden. i have container and raised garden. soon im going to try your pesticide formula, sure hope it works as i get lots of grasshoppers, hate those things as much as tomato horn worms, ack!. Really love your videos. Thanks! ..and hi from usa.
hey...good news!!...thank you!!! you've done it again...a simple unseen possibility...I will try it with the tomato prunnings i usually leave underneath to die...
Tomatoes and potatoes are great for using cuttings for propagation. It's a great way to keep hybrid tomato plants alive and growing from fall till spring. It's nice to know that tarragon can do this too. I just wish I liked tarragon. LOL
Accune, I cut the longest section of stem I can for cutting (min 6"). The more stem that's buried=more roots. Cut it just above the leaf junction of the main plant. I recommend using a sharp knife or scissors and getting it planted as soon as possible. Remove all leaves except the growing tip cluster, which reduces stress on the cutting you're planting. Less leaves=less it has to feed while rooting. Keep it moist but not too wet. It'll wilt a bit initially, but perk up and grow fast later. :)

Tomato and potato plants are great for plating cuttings. It's a good way to keep your hybrid tomato plant alive through the winter since you can't save and use the seeds of hybrids. It's nice that tarragon can do this. I just wish I liked tarragon. lol
I heard that you can do this also with tomato suckers that you pull off from between the main vine and branches. If you stick them into the ground they're supposed to sprout a root system and become another plant. Great video!
Glad your still doing videos. Up in the NorthEast US we are just getting into our grow season, so it is like a time warp to watch your farm go more dormant. Hope the economy lets you keep on doing what you love.
Great video! I took some cuttings from my grandmothers twisted willow tree last year and planted it beneath my kitchen window...it's almost tall enough now to start braiding the little trunks. I think about her everytime I look at the little tree..my grandma is 92 now. I tried taking some cuttings of some roses my mom and dad planted in 1969, but the cuttings never took root. Has anyone had any success with rose cuttings? I would love to have some of those roses.
Sometimes rose cuttings work for me and sometimes they don't. but you have to make sure you cut off a LONG stem and stick it way into the ground. With a big pole make a hole in the ground about a foot deep and then put the branch in about that deep. Don't think that with just a couple little eyes (or whatever they're called) underground that that'll do it. NO. Stick that sucker as far down as possible so it has lots of places where it can send out roots.
