On sunday 2/3rds of the family went out to Woolworths, the main reason for
the outing was to get a Freeview box. Then we discovered that the Sale was
still on, so I mananged to pick up a Heated Propagator at half price, so I
was pleased.

I also noticed they had received their supply of boxed plants. These are
mostly Roses and shrubs, but the prices they are charging seem impossible to
beat.

I have a plan to take up propagating trees and shrubs for a living if I ever
get made redundant from my "day job". But at £2.99 for an Acer Palmatum, I
am thinking I need to re work my plans. At that rate I will need to sell
about 100000 shrubs per annum to even make it worth my while.

I did noy buy any of their stuff because its hard to see the roots on most
of them, in fact on some its hard to see what shape the top of the plant is
in. So its a bit like buying blind. I guess I could get a tenners worth
grow them on until the shape and colour becoumes apparent, keep the ones
that look OK and sell the remainder at the summer school fairs.

After that ramble back to the point. My Heated Propagator, can anyone
recommend and good books on propagation or alternatively, instant uses for
my new toy.
