A trip to Woolies
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. |
