Free Plants - Simple Plant Propagation for the Home Gardener (Beginner Gardening Book 4)

Want free plants for your garden? Retired nurseryman and award winning garden author Doug Green shows you the simple ways to propagate most common garden plants yourself. You can easily get more roses, clematis, shrubs, climbing vines and perennials with simple, low cost tools if you get some simple things right. Most people don't focus on the things that matter (soil heat) and consequently fail when they try to propagate plants. Roses are seen as "hard" to do from cuttings but Green tells you exactly how to know when roses in your area are ready to propagate (it's all in the thorns) Vines such as clematis are easy with this old-but-gold simple technique ignored by modern nurseries but a mainstay of historic nurseries and home gardeners. These are the tricks of the trade passed along by a master plantsman who used to propagate over 2000 varieties of perennials, vines and annuals in his nursery every year.
