Hardwood Cuttings, plus Annuals vs Perennials, and channel updates

[@michaelking3206]

Can't get enough of your videos! Your info. on "weeds" and their uses as well as plants and "weeds" being solar panels and to let them grow, has resonated with me! My whole outlook on gardening has changed now and I love the kinda lazy gardener aspect to it. Letting nature take the reigns with minimal intervention from us. Thank you for your positive vibes and great content!

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Thanks 😊 it completely changed how I garden and my gardens have been so much more productive. I think the biggest thing is less pest problems. I have noticed that so much. It did take a solid year or two to really start working, but I have so much insect activity here now, but at the same time so many less 9nsect problems. It's so cool to see it all working.

[@doinacampean9132]

Sharing my exp: - got collards eaten to the point I thought the pot was empty, just to have them rebound - (also pot) carrots greens got picked by birds, but still harvested enough roots for a soup - asparagus, from seed, eaten down to nothing, found it rebound later in the season... can't wait to see if anything will survive this winter... - avocado pits thrown in the "compost in place pile" (greenstalk), grew 3 years later (yes, after 3 Canadian winters) - peas, grown indoor for shoots, kept growing, replanted outdoors, freezing temps, survived and harvested pods early summer.. - garlic - never grew a bulb - but survived for 3 years in the pathway (no sun) - now having LOTS of garlic planted in better conditions... - lots of fall growth, planted end of Aug, start of Sep (beans, greens) and harvested later - sweet potatoes: LOTS of greens, but harvested after a freeze, too late for the tubers... (but yummy greens) - total failure on radishes and beets, for years.... will keep trying... :) - had 1 grape vine dead after 7 years (how???), another after 3 years, due to poor soil, poor light, and other conditions... - the 12 yo apple tree still surviving (def not great, looking into improving) - blackmailed friend with more backyard to allow me to plant along the fence - some good, some bad, some to be determined next year - of course, got a load from chipdrop... :) - lots of plans for the future... :) Conclusion: you have to try it if you want to know if it works... and keep trying, year after year, never know what will happen...

Great lesson 👍

[@JoelKSullivan]

I'm so glad you added in the part where you show how to do it because I couldn't follow it as well as I wanted just from describing it

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Thanks for the feedback. It's always hard when you are teaching something you learned a while ago, because you forget what it was like before you knew the thing. I also find a lot of youtubers just talk about doing stuff but you never see them actually doing it. I think they just parrot other videos for views but they have no idea what they are talking about. That's how so much misinformation gets propagated. One reason I never talked about air layering is because I haven't done it yet. I know how to do it, so I could make a video about it, but it would be disingenuous because I've never actually done it before.

[@JoelKSullivan]

@@CanadianPermacultureLegacy yeah, seeing someone actually do the thing they are teaching goes a long way. I think there are subtle things that can't be properly communicated any other way.

Great point about not digging things up because they look dead. I cut down my fig trees to make a bunch of cuttings because the landowner was going to bulldoze them. The last time I was on that side of the property, at least the largest and most established one was resprouting from the roots.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Awesome!

[@NashvilleMonkey1000]

Oh wow, garlic this time of year is so amazing when you eat the main stem after steaming it in the microwave on a plate with things like kale, it's amazingly delicious and cooking it takes out the heat, which is prolly less while we're still in the spring, and there's no shortage of it in the yard, since we've pretty much let it do it's thing since we planted it, letting it make top-bulbs, and spreading those to the four winds (if we actually tried to propagate it to the extent that it can, the entire lawn would have been garlic already).

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

I have never tried it that way because I was always so focused on propagating as much of it as possible and eating it now just seemed like such a waste. But now that I have so much of it I may give that a try! Thanks for the suggestion

I think a good chunk of my spring is looking at perennials thinking, oh... that didn't make it (especially those that were planted late in the prior year). A month later and continually checking under the mulch, you'll find out how many plants that you thought were dead and were simply still dormant or hiding well. This last year I went a bit overboard with chipped wood mulch and I had way better success than prior years.

[@annburge291]

I'm going to try your heel cutting method. High altitude desert cuttings such as pomegranates have more success rate if placed at 5 degrees ( just off horizontal) with a substantial scratched stick in the ground. They sit over winter. One covers the dirt with straw,, a sack of sawdust or a board to protect from freezing and drying out. The final plant grows vertically. Grape cuttings I usually place in a pot that lies on its side except when watered. Pinched out tomato cuttings from the tomato stem I do place vertically but we usually have some moisture from cloud cover at the end of summer even if we don't get the rain.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Thanks for the info, great stuff as always Ann

[@growshakephil]

My kids like to mulch with all sorts of balls. Footballs, baseballs, soccer balls, sometimes random knee pads and such. Up north, hockey pucks could make amazing ground cover and provide homes for pollinators and or macro and micro-organisms.

We are not going to any meet ups this year. I was supposed to go to Homesteaders of America in Virginia but put it off.

[@draconiigena]

This year I'll be harvesting even more nettle, since I found out that I love it as my main tea ingredient. Already harvested a batch of the first early leafs. I've so much of it in my garden that it some times bothers me, even though I know it is a very useful plant. Harvesting it more will hopefully keeping it from overrunning the rest of my plants. Regarding onions: at some point in time I started planting spring onions from the supermarket in soil on my balcony to keep them fresh for longer (after rooting them in water), turns out that this is the third year and the original pants are still growing. I just cut like one or two leafs every now and then and they keep coming back.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

You can do this with many other plants also. For example, celery. Cut what you need, then go plant the roots and it will keep re-shooting new stalks all season.

[@samanthamariah7625]

I have nettles in a container and I want to plant it in my garden. I am on around 1/3 of an acre so I can’t just let it sprawl. Since you have experience with it, do you know if when it spreads will I be able to dig it up easily? Or dig up reasonably easy? I had a bad experience with bamboo and so want to be careful. Basically, just how hard is it to keep nettles under control? TIA for any info.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

In the past 4 years it has only been down near my creek. This is the first year I've had it up here, so I'm not too experienced with that aspect of it. Down near the creek it doesn't spread. Up near the pear it has stayed there and hasn't spread but that's a pretty short observation period.

[@draconiigena]

@@samanthamariah7625 I'm no expert either, still learning a lot, its only my second year in this garden, before that the property wasn't touched at all. Let me put it that way: nettle and blackberry where the only living plants on my now garden space when I first started. Blackberry had nearly everything suffocated at that point, but the nettle. So it was already established where I am and in general it is known to not so easily get rid of around here. It spreads by seed and rhizomes. But it all depends on where the plant should grow, how well it does. I'm in climate zone 7 which seems climate wise to be perfect for this plant, colder or hotter and it wouldn't do _that_ well, I think. Personally I think that it's worth the trade-of: Nettle as a dynamic accumulator of nutrients are very useful plants and it pops up here and there after I dumped like 5-10 cm of wood-chips on it but not that much anymore compared to the places I didn't put wood-chips on and compared to bamboo it doesn't destroy walls. Cutting it before it can seed is probably the best bet to keep it controlled, if you're to worried about how it will do.

Isn't a "weed" just a plant that is out of place?

[@banksarenotyourfriends]

If you like your boiled nettles, Keith, grab an entire young plant at the base of the stem, and then hold it over a small fire for 30-60s - long enough to make it wilt. The flavour is much nicer and all the spines and their venom are rendered harmless. Let me know what you think, I much prefer them that way.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Oh neat! My nettles are just emerging now, I will try that. I typically don't like pulling the whole plant up, because I find they are a bit fragile for not reseeding well. I try to just harvest a little from each plant so that I don't ruin my patch. I will try that method sparingly though.

[@banksarenotyourfriends]

I have nvr eaten lambs quarters...could you share so e of your fave recipes? Pls😀

[@NashvilleMonkey1000]

Spinach, beets, and chard are all related to lambsquarters (and amaranth), unfortunately they all contain high amounts of oxalic acid. We've been eating kale recently since we left it in the ground last fall after the caterpillars ate the leaves, and it started coming up again in the spring. It's also starting to make little broccoli's so we'll save the seed and plant it around in late summer for next year.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Indeed and will definitely be in my video. Always always always important to vary your diet and not just binge eat one thing.

[@NashvilleMonkey1000]

Yeah, at the height of strawberry season we can get absolutely sick of/from eating strawberries.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

For sure, last season we made 12 jars of jam for that exact reason. I was actually fearful I was eating too much sugar. Even though it's natural sugar and comes with fiber (which is KEY), it's still a LOT of sugar!

[@NashvilleMonkey1000]

We haven't bought a bag of sugar in a very long time, considering how much is in a lot of food. To be completely sustainable I would have to make chocolate granola bars from plants growing in the ground, and i'm not quite there yet.

I haven't had any luck with hardwood cuttings on things like apples. I have had a little better luck with things like elderberries, but they are pretty easy to propagate in many ways. It really would be a great way to propagate and use left overs if I can get it to work. I'll try again. Air layering is fine if it doesn't work, but this would simplify things. Good work. Take care.

Apple doesn't generally grow roots from hardwood cuttings. You can buy rooting hormones for that but it's easiest to plant apple seeds or transplant a sucker and graft your favoured variety on it. It's how I propogate cherries too

[@nmnate]

Give orach a try! Super hardy here. We let a couple plants go to seed and we have probably 40-50 seedlings. They came up about a month ago, didn't mind low temperatures / frosts in our area (20F seemed to be fine). I'll have to give kale and collards a try in deep mulch.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

A friend had some and I tried it but didn't like it. I just looked it up again and apparently there's a massive variance of leaf-taste between varieties. Maybe I will give it another try. It's an annual though which I typically avoid, but does it reseed really easily?

[@aileenallen8754]

I have been trying to figure out how to implement the woodchip method with my perennial wildflower garden - my confusion is, if I cover my garden area with 6-10+ inches of mulch in early spring, when the bed is bare, how will that not smother the perennial flower roots that are already underground and haven't begun to sprout yet? I don't remember *exactly* where everything is in the bed over the winter, and sometimes it's hard to tell if something is a weed or flower until it gets bigger than a few inches (like my coneflowers & black-eyed Susans), so I can't just mulch around all of the roots if they haven't grown significantly yet. Last year I waited till my perennials were coming up before mulching, so I didn't cover them too much, and the weeds were already taking over the bed! I'd really appreciate some step-by-step instructions for how & when to use woodchips in a perennial garden area, Thanks!!!

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

As long as you keep it under 1 foot thickness, they can push up through the woodchips no problem. You should just do maybe 4 inches this fall, see how fast it breaks down, do another 4 inches next fall, etc.

[@rtom675]

Really appreciated this video- particularly the demonstration! Elderberry, currants, willow- these you mentioned as “stick in the ground” options that root easily. Any others you would suggest for those of us that want to dip our toes in and build confidence?

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Those are the 2 that I feel have the most success of the things I have done. For me, my peaches have been almost 0% success rate - which makes sense because the rootstock is a cold hardy rootstock, but the tree itself is grafted onto it. Then I take cuttings from that and try to root them, and I'm trying to root a non-cold hardy root variety. I wanted to talk about some of this stuff, but the video was already so long! I would say if you want to build your confidence, stick with those 2, do lots of bulb plants like garlic and daffodils, and herbaceous layer propagation like comfrey and hostas. They are almost 100% success rate. Same with rhizome spreaders like raspberry, or running plants like strawberries and clover.

[@travisdavis1042]

With the elderberry did you use any roofing hormone or just a cutting straight in the ground?

No rooting hormone, although I have made willow water before. I avoid the chemical rooting powders though. They work great though. I just don't like to use stuff like that if I don't absolutely need to.

[@Matrix2458]

Not sure if this is confirmation bias, but it seems like the cuttings that did the best were the cuttings i put into established mycorrhizal networks, like into clover or yarrow, etc. My theory is that it helps facilitate rooting, and when it does root, it will have more water and nutrients available to it because the mycorrhizae want a canopy layer. About a year and a half ago I was putting cuttings into a mulched area, but the more i thought about it, the less it made sense to surround a cutting with dead sticks that will be consumed by saprotrophic fungi that would be ready to consume the cutting as well. Now that I have much more green mulch than brown mulch I can see my cutting success rate go up. Could be imagining it tho, definitely not scientific

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Once I took pictures of the garden over a year, kinda sporadically, but it clearly showed super slow growth through march and april, then things picked up sharply, so it's good to have all the new garden spaces ready so they can grow through the entire fast season, and be rooted in before it gets too hot/dry.
