To Sean, Sasha and Juan, I hope you read this! I wasn't sure how best to contact you. I have been watching your videos for a little over a year now, and they are truly the most informative, inspiring and enjoyable videos I have ever come across.
You guys are doing such incredible work, I love the way you all think!
I live in Ireland, and have been building a food forest on an acre of land, and I have designed it with everything I have learned from you!
Thank you so much for sharing all of your experience and your passion with us 😊
Nice job. I was rootin for ya.
Sorry. I'll show myself out.
I know it is kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online ?
@Diego Trace I watch on flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Corey Stefan Yea, have been using flixzone for months myself :)
@Corey Stefan Thanks, signed up and it seems to work :D I appreciate it !!
@Diego Trace You are welcome :)
Nice. I always love simplicity. This setup is simplicity.
Nice to hear that the callusing is a desirable stage.
If you are getting callousing things are going in the right direction for sure..
Wonderful information! Thank you.
Thanks for showing how different plants callus and root. You are inspiring me to try blueberry hardwood cuttings. I know you have said they were difficult, but I hope we learn how to succeed with these.
Love this! Right now I'm using the bottom heat via pots on a heat mat! That works wonderfully! Someday, though, I want one like you have! 😁 I will be watching for more updates! Especially with the blueberry and aronia cuttings! Thanks for taking the time to do this!
I have underfloor heating in my house. This winter our living area was taken over with the cuttings and my wife was not very pleased!
Ha!
Thank you, Sean. I have been following your instructions and I'm excited seeing new life from a stick, though I don't need to heat here in the southwest.
I was afraid that I was too late for doing any dormant cuttings for rooting, but I think I will go ahead and give it a try yet.
Very worth trying!
Thank you !!😊
Thanks again for the great video. You make it seem so easy !
It isn't super easy to get everything setup but then it works nicely once you have it!
Great video, love the propagation info.
Thanks alot, this was super helpfull to me.
My blueberries were ravaged by squirrels and rabbits and i turned about 15 plants into about three hundred cuttings. I have them in small containers sitting on a 3/4" horstall matt that gets sun all day and i think is working as bottom heat. Its only been about three weeks but the buds are begining to grow and i assume thats a good sign.
I pulled up one cutting and the end had a nice callus on it but it fell off while checking it out. 1 of 300 no big deal.
Just hoping my soil doesnt go sour, all i had that was not frozen was potting mix and didnt want to wait for the plants to leave there dormant state
Fingers crossed for you. i hope you get a MOUNTAIN of healthy plants!
Would love it if you could try fruit trees like apples, and nut trees in your setup and let us see how it goes. Would also love to know if you have tried fruit tre or nut tre in your bubbler setup. And to know what plants have you succeeded within the heated bed and the bubbler. Thank you for all your wonderful videos.
Work this spring is focused on the house, but boy oh boy do I want to be propagating all sorts of currants and seaberries and hazels and gooseberries and elderberry and, and , and... lol first things first, I have to build the house. It comes with a greenhouse ;)
Thanks for another informative and great video. You possibly have these already, but I’d love to see some videos that talk about the species you are propagating at certain times of the year, early, mid, late-spring, summer, autumn for example. When’s it too late to take cuttings? Once they come out of dormancy? In which case do we need to wait for softwood cuttings? Thanks again, your videos are always inspiring!
Sounds good. I'll try to keep making videos like these.
I feel rooted!
allonesame 🤣 rooted in propagation.👍
Brilliant method! I know it isnt directly related, but I am curious about your old ford truck. Has had been reliable? I would love to have a second hand truck for doing all kinds of hauling and work, eventually taking on farm duty when I get established. If it stands up, maybe a consideration for your next tool review-style video...
I got a 1996 Ford F150 4 years ago. It guzzles gas which is rough but it has been insanely reliable for me.
Nice job. A question if I may. How high is the ceiling from the top of the rootings? I'm thing of doing this set up outside under a shed roof. With northern exposure in USA zone 8. Thank you
At this stage they don't need much light so I think the roof could be pretty close and still be just fine
I agree people start cuttings in shade under trees . Thank you
Excellent video yet again, Sean, thank you so much. I'm having great success, finally, with Guoumie Berry cuttings, this year.
Would a heating pad, or heating element, added to a bubbler propagation system, for semi hard & soft wood cuttings improve, or accelerate rooting?
I haven't tried that but I would wonder. I somehow feel that heated water would be a bad idea, but I just don't know... I can speak to what I've tried and thats it I guess :)
Great vid. Youre moving the calloused plants out into unheated nursery beds?
How did the toka plum and carmine jewel cuttings do? The plums would normally just be grafted and usually considered improbable? to root just with bottom heat, but if you've got this method to work at all for plums, or even malus I would be very interested to know. thinking it could be like a mini stool bed on bottom heat over the long winter in Canada here.
The plum didn't work much at all for me, the carmine jewel got strong callousing but once transplanted to the garden they faltered and died. That doesn't mean it won't work, could very much be about my lack of follow through and detailed effort, but thats what happened in this case... I'd say worth experimenting with if you have more focus!
One question pls answer me....... bottom heat technic related propagation method
Hi Edible Acres. I have had blueberry hardwood cuttings on bottom heat for 2 months. I’m wondering if they root how long to keep them close together... or when to move them to a nursery bed or bigger pots? Do I let them grow really close together all year or transplant them as soon as they have roots? Thanks. Josh
I am realizing I shouldn't be the person to try to answer blueberry related questions as I have had not very much success at all with them!
@@edibleacres I am going to be giving blueberry hardwood cuttings a try. I watch your channel a lot. Maybe we’ll learn about blueberries together! Don’t give up.
very nice! do you reuse your perlite every year? or do you replace with new perlite?
We take this perlite and fold it into garden beds, then put in new for this application
That is really cool. Definitely a system for a bigger set-up but seems to work well. A question I have is what are the green shoots? They look like leaves, it that what they are? How warm does it need to be outside before I transplant elderberry cuttings that have rooted in water indoors?
On the Miyabeana willow those are new leaf shoots. They grow FAST!
You can put elderberries and everyone else outside so long as you don't expect brutally cold nights or swings (like 20F or lower after really hot days)
@@edibleacres I think I will error on caution and wait until April 14th (my birthday) to plant outside lol. We always get a good last freeze around the 9th. I'm so very excited 🌿❤️!!!
Hi there. Thanks so much for all your videos. It’s a blessing for those starting out. I’m wondering how early in the winter you can start cuttings with bottom heat. I made a bed similar to yours, and wondered if I can start cuttings now, or if I have to wait until closer to spring? I’m in zone 5b-6a.
I wouldn't push it, you don't want plants rooting and also pushing new growth well in advance of the growing season. We like to get things going around March so that we can hopefully transplant out to the garden directly when ready. Good luck!
EdibleAcres thanks so much.
Hi. I love the videos. Propagation is super exciting to me. I’m doing first time propagation. I love berries and have about 100 blueberry and some elderberry cuttings on bottom heat. You don’t have to answer these but I have a lot of questions. How long should blueberries take? I started mine almost a month ago. What does your nursery bed consist of? How long do they stay in nursery beds before being potted? Is bark finds an ok potting material?
Again thanks. I love the info and learning about this amazing creation.
To be fully honest, I have blueberries on the bottom heat but so far they are by far the most sluggish of any of the cuttings I have on there. I have some doubts as to how well they'll do for me. Elder should be rooting VERY fast so keep an eye out!
Be patient with the blueberries, hopefully they'll work out for ya!
EdibleAcres thanks a lot for responding. Ok. I’ll just be patient with them then. Maybe I’ll check one (it’s been a month) and see how they’re doing.
EdibleAcres I love all the info that I’m learning from your videos. Thanks so much. when do you prune your hardwood cuttings? Do you wait an entire growing season and prune them when they are dormant the winter after you start them?
Having some success with propagation from seeds this spring. The bottom heat box is set up but I haven't pulled any to see how things are going there. I was really hoping to get some seaberry planted this year to have a mother plant. I understand you are sold out, but do you know anywhere in New England area to get some?
Thank you kindly for all these videos.
perfectcircle.farm is definitely worth trying!
Hey Sean, love this series! The old videos and this new set really helped me kick off my cuttings game, thank you!! I did 4 separate totes for mine to be a little more mobile until I move. Unfortunately I started my cuttings awfully early this year(learning as we go here haha) and I'm pretty sure half of my first tote is very likely good to be transferred(slowwllyyyyyy bud swelling/green shoots poking out/been in for 5 weeks now). The average air temp in the garage is around 40-44farenheit so a little higher than your suggested.
I'm worried about what to do with transferring them though. Right now we've got some days coming up that would be warm enough for me to get them in the ground, but with some challenging digging situations and the lows in the 20s at night. Should I stick em outside or should I quickly pick up/use some .5/1 gal potters and string them along in there until early Spring? Not sure how sensitive those roots would be in Spring time at that point if they would survive transferring from a pot to outside after some hardening off? Or would they need to stay in those containers until Fall almost like the Air Prune box? Thanks as always man!
That is a tricky scenario, you really dont' want them waking up too early... Not knowing your climate or the plants you are trying to root, you may want to consider leaving them in the containers and burying those outside with a lot of mulch around them to keep them asleep as long as possible. Good luck!
@@edibleacres Yeahh I didn't want the comment to run on for too long(mix of fruit trees/berry bushes and 6a down here) haha but thanks for the sound advice, going to see what I can't do to keep these cold hardy guys asleep and let things like figs just move slowly on their way/adjust as needed. Thanks!
Blueberries! I didn’t realize they could be propagated this way. Sorry if this is a stupid question but what part of the plant do you use?
We have 5 blueberry bushes here from the former owner - I don’t know their type but we would love to grow more and it would be really fun to try to expand from our current stock.
You take shoots from last years new growth when it is dormant. For the record though, blueberries are one of the harder species
I tried rooting high bush blueberries just over a year ago. The cuttings are in flats of sand, perlite, peat mix outdoors. I now have hard red stemmed plants with what look like blueberry leaves coming up all over the flats. Will blueberries sprout suckers from their roots? Thank you
I haven't had huge success at all with blueberry, so I'm not sure.
This might work well with arborvitae cuttings. Does gooseberry work this way? Anyone try?
Gooseberry should be very promising with this method (and tip layering them in the garden works wonders)...
Arborvitae, not sure, but worth exploring... I may trial Yew a bit this spring.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing. I have some currant cuttings that have a lot of leaves, but very little if no roots after a month. Should I move them out to put into beds. Also, what is the material that you will use for your beds with those plants that have very little roots. Is it sand and perlite or compost or soil. Thanks
Check out the first video, linked in description for details.
You kept your currants too warm... they leaf before they root in that case, keep them watered and tended and they should develop roots hopefully.
@@edibleacres Thanks
So what would you consider the optimal soil temp given this experiment? What would be excessive or ineffective ranges? I was thinking maybe heat mat in a tote with potted cuttings on top for my scale...
I have this set at 74F right at the area where the base of most cuttings are and the soil heating cable lives, mixed in the sand. Seems near ideal...
did serviceberry ever root?
Pretty much not at all... From seed we've gotten nice results and root runners, but cuttings have been sad ...
Hey sean, sorry if you've answered this 1000 times already, but when did you take these cuttings? During active growth or dormancy?
Dormancy is key. Late winter before bud swell...
Hey Sean, I've got a few hundred cuttings going that have been in a similar bed for a little over a month. I've got lots of leaves on the elderberry and currants. Is it alright to move them to their permanent location now or should I wait until it's frost free? I'm certain there are lots of roots going. I just don't wanna move them out too soon and have the cold kill them off. Also, I got plants yesterday in the mail; comfrey roots, chives, etc. Should I plant them as well or should I store them in the fridge until the weather breaks for good?
Plant everything in the soil ASAP, keep moist and protected from frost if possible, but if they are really growing and rooting in tight spacing they can really damage roots later...
@edibleacres Ive been looking to buy some seaberry cuttings, where did you get yours or do you know where i could order some online?
perfectcircle.farm is one option. They are highly recommended by us!
Do you know anything about propagating cranberries?
Bog cranberries? They are runners and can be rooted with mulching the runners and letting them root into it, or taking cuttings and simply planting them out in good soil, they should root pretty well...
@@edibleacres English is my second language. What are runners again. Like roots coming up again? Or runners like strawberries? We'll try cuttings for sure too. Thanks!
Can you comment on that some of your cuttings may be invasive species?
Which plants are you concerned with?
