Plant Propagation Links and Tricks














I promised my die hard plant swapping friends from the Middle Tennessee Plant Swap last weekend that I would post a follow up on our little propagation discussion. It was so darn cold last Saturday that I couldn't think straight and we all were too cold for any long lecture.

Here are a few links to suppliers of propagation equipment and some of my favorite forums. I'll start with the Plant Propagation on the Garden web forums. It's a good place to post your questions and read what others have posted that may be helpful. Of course our own Tennessee Gardening forum is a good one for folks who are reading this other than the plant swap people.

We talked a lot about Intermittent Mist Systems. Morton's Horticultural Products in Smithville, TN is my favorite local supplier and if you don't want to drive there you can order on line. This is where I purchased my Electronic Leaf to control my mist system. I find a yearly pilgrimage to Smithville and McMinnville well worth the trip. I love to go to Mary's Greenhouse in the spring. Mary actually has about 14 greenhouses full of wonderful plants at great prices.

When I build my next greenhouse I think I will purchase a kit from Farmtek. They have some real nice complete kits that are not too terribly expensive considering all that comes with them.

I don't want to forget Mike McGroarty's web site. His message board is one of the best (you have to enter his site to find it) and you can purchase the Easy plant Propagation book from him or you can find it on Amazon (I bought a used copy).

Here are a few more pictures from the plant swap but the very best ones are from Tngreenthumb and you can find them here.
