grow great grub by gayla trail is pulling tightly at my gardening heart strings. i am a full believer in her ideas- food in small spaces! container gardens! reusing & recycling! i am even so inspired as to make her ideas a sort of manifesto for myself as we prepare for our move in a little over three weeks.
one little tidbit from the book that i found incredibly interesting is making more plants from what you already have. on page 31, trail gives easy instructions on how to propagate a variety of plants. by cutting the stem just below an attached leaf & sticking it in water, you will have new roots in a couple of weeks.
yes such a great book!
ReplyDeleteWe have been propagating like crazy over here - trying everything from fruit trees and hydrangeas to mint and lavender to ground cover plants and thyme. Most everything has been a success and it was such a revelation to realize what a wealth of plants we have, even with only a few to start from.
ReplyDeleteawesome! i do that all the time-- a lot of my houseplants multiply that way (especially when i accidentally break off a branch while watering!). i've got some lavender, a few succulents and a spider plant going right now! happy propagating!
ReplyDeleteI remember many new plants taking root in jars of water placed all over our house, as a child. My mom must have created so many new plants from her own! We lived in a very rural area so it's no wonder she did it this way, easier and cheaper!
