cold greenhouse propagation
Up till now I have always taken cuttings and used three large wooden
boxes filled with either sharp sand and a bit of compost or a bit of compost and vermiculite. Most cuttings I take are of shrubs, trees or hardy plants. I grow an inordinate amount of cuttings taken from friend's gardens and also vegetables. I don't heat the greenhouse but give the cuttings some cover in the worst winter weather. I have just treated myself to a plunge bed complete with soil warming cable and a long heated propagator/shelf which takes four full sized see d trays. Both are now ensconced in my greenhouse awaiting further developments. Trouble is, having made do for so many years I am not sure of the best way to use the new equipment! Both have thermostats on. Do I plunge cuttings direct into sand or use pots and plunge them? Do I use the covered propagators and germinate vegetable seedlings or bring on cuttings? Be glad of advice from the more experienced so that I don't waste all this new lovely stuff Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
