How to Grow High Quantity of Fig Trees from Cuttings: Easy Propagation Tips & Tricks for Multiplying
Growing figs in Ohio is a challenge, but enjoyable crop to grow and can make them a great choice for beginners. These hardy plants can adapt well to the state's climate if you take a few precautions. We explain certain tools, tips and tricks to do so.
Tips for Growing Figs in Ohio:
Select the Right Variety: Choose cold-hardy fig varieties like ‘Chicago Hardy’ or ‘Celeste’ that can withstand Ohio’s winters.
Planting Location: Pick a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Figs need plenty of sunlight to thrive and produce fruit.
Winter Protection: While some varieties are cold-hardy, insulating the base of the plant with mulch or wrapping it with burlap can help protect it from severe winter temperatures.
Watering and Feeding: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize in early spring to boost growth.
Pruning: Regular pruning helps manage the plant’s size and encourages better fruit production.
Pest Management: Watch out for common pests like aphids and spider mites. Regular inspections and natural pest control methods can keep your plant healthy.
Propagation: Figs are also excellent for learning propagation techniques. You can start new plants from cuttings, which is a simple and effective way to expand your fig garden. Just take a cutting in late winter or early spring, and with proper care, it will grow into a healthy new plant.
Overall, figs are a rewarding choice for Ohio gardeners, and mastering their care and propagation can be a great introduction to plant growing.
Do Not Forget to Protect them from Winter Cold Damage!!!

    Hühner häuten sich normalerweise im Spätsommer bis Frühherbst. In dieser Zeit können sie vor den kalten Wintermonaten alte Federn abwerfen und neue wachsen lassen. Der Häutungsprozess kann je nach Vogel und Umgebung einige Wochen bis einige Monate dauern. Während dieser Zeit können Hühner die Eiablage reduzieren oder ganz aufhören, da ihre Energie auf das Wachstum neuer Federn umgelenkt wird. Du großer dummer Pole. Jeepers Weihnachten

    Ok bud here’s the deal, NEVER TUCH THE CHAIN WHILE THE SAW IS ON! There is literally never a reason to do that, ever. It’s super risky especially because over time those breaks come loose or the idle speed increases and you don’t want to have that habit. As pointed out above sharpen that chain and your job will be much easier and safer. 👍

  • @mogapuppy
    @mogapuppy 8 місяців тому

    You sure about that ratio? 30 buckets leaves to 1 of grass? I thought the 30:1 ratio refers to the C:N ratio of the material, not simply the brown to green ratio. So if leaves are 60:1 you need two buckets of 15:1 grass for every one bucket of leaves to keep a 30:1 ratio ([60+15+15] / 3)

    • @MyDadWorksAtMarcs
      @MyDadWorksAtMarcs 8 місяців тому

      The ideal C/N ratio for composting is generally considered to be around 30:1, or 30 parts carbon for each part nitrogen by weight, but most people won't weigh their stuff so volume can be the quickest way to achieve these results. Why 30:1? At lower ratios, nitrogen will be supplied in excess and will be lost as ammonia gas, causing undesirable odors. Also everyone's grass clippings if you did a true laboratory leaf analysis would contain different levels of nitrogen depending on if #1 the home owner applies regular feedings to their lawn, #2 if their yard is truly all grass and what type of grass Just to name a few, but as long as we are higher in carbon by a good amount that is really the true key which is easiest known as browns and green to the human eye.

    • @greatlakessproutsmedia
      @greatlakessproutsmedia 8 місяців тому

      Hey @mogapuppy as long as your carbon ratios are a lot higher than your nitrogen levels by a good amount you will receive good composting results, in the perfect world we could do analysis on how much carbon is in brown leaves of different species, and different nitrogen levels of different grasses or other lawn species, but for the purpose of this video we want to make it simple! If you want to talk further on this matter I'd be willing speak through insta and nerd out @greatlakessprouts Thank you!

    • @bsod5608
      @bsod5608 8 місяців тому

      Yeah, you are right @mogapuppy. Leaves have about c/n ratio of 50. And grass about c/n ratio of 20. You can mix way more grass, without getting excess nitrogen. 1 part grass 3 part of leaves is not a problem if mixed well and sufficient air is available

    • @greatlakessproutsmedia
      @greatlakessproutsmedia 8 місяців тому

      ​@bsod5608 The C:N ratio of leaves will depend on environmental conditions as well as the tree species, but the range for fall leaves is in the order 30-85:1 (variable) As long as you are higher in carbon, you will most likely succeed! Also managing the ratio will be different if leaves are harvester with freshly fallen leaves and vice versa for the purpose or this video this is quick method. Thank you for watching and your input as well! I'd like to get into more advanced methods with testing moisture and adding other enzymes/sugars well in near future.
