Wonder if you have taught classes? If not... you should. Your easy to listen to and pretty in depth with explaining what your doing and why. Thank you for putting these up. I look forward to watching the others you have done.
I just watched my first video of your cuttings and replanting and I'm so happy I stumbled across your channel ! Very informative ! Excellent description ! Excellent instructions ! Thank you so much keep up the great work !
This is a very inspiring video. I am attempting to start an Japanese Acer nursery. I've always kept them as a hobby, planted them out in gardens of houses which I've subsequently sold and had to leave plants which, when I look at in nurseries are a couple of hundred pounds. I've left a veritable trail of treasure in the ground! You have an easy way with your tutorials. Some of them I've watched make it seem like rocket science! Thank you.
Hey Jack ... thanks for the kind words. I believe Mason sand is the same as regular sand and doesn't really work as well as sharp sand. The thing about sharp sand is it drains really well which is what you need for new cuttings. Regular sand tends to become waterlogged so probably best to avoid. Hope this helps.
Loved your video! Thank you! Taking cuttings has been a difficult thing for me to learn. I loved how you kept things so "loose". Gave me confidence. Thanks!
is "sharp sand" the same as "mason sand"? to save some money as I start off, can I mix compost with the sand? I have access to lots of free compost. ty, Jack :-) btw, really enjoying the videos.
I really enjoyed this series very informative wonder if you will be making more videos anytime soon as it would be great to see more about your nursery.
Hi. I was wondering if you could answer a quick question on plant patents... I'm tossing around the idea of starting a small scale plant nursery in my backyard, specializing in miniature rose varieties. Most of the roses I'd like to sell are patented, meaning that I have to set up some kind of royalty agreement with the patent owner. How do I contact these patent owners to set up said royalty agreements?
It sounded like "Builders' Sharp Sand"...can I make it for free by smashing old bottles & hammering away at them until they become "sand"? You seem to have a whole pile of it...so how & where does one get some? Why do you use that substance in particular, if any old thing will do? I have to admit, I never heard of it and I'm pushing seventy! :) I don't live in the UK, I wonder if they sell it here in NZ but call it something else, lol! We live right by a beach, but it's eroding & residents aren't supposed to touch the sand! I like the idea of starting a plant for free...of something we can actually use or eat. I've only had success here with rhubarb reproducing from a big mother plant, and maybe dozens of avocado seeds we just plonked in the ground. They would grow huge until the landlord(s) would get irritated and chop them down. There never was any fruit though. We once had spectacular results with special-bought corn seeds, which got chest high and beautiful! Then it was destroyed by some sorts of beetles, some green, some spotty-patterned, that suddenly appeared and ate up all the ears of corn, as soon as they appeared! At one flat where we lived, we planted a single packet of watermelon seeds that filled the yard. Just as tiny melons were appearing, the wind changed direction one night, and by morning the whole wonderfulness was stone dead! So it would be fun to put some things in pots and protect them etc! Thanks for sharing your secrets, cheers! (:D
im just getting into growing things literally yesterday and was wandering if you put he plastic pot inside of a clay pot then you make a polyerathan cover over the top of the pot use a rubber band to hold it to the pot to seal it and then make it lightly wrap around the bottom of plants and use really light guage wire to close the wrap to the plant then the water would evaporate but fall back down into the soil :) or plant something in a 2L soda bottle cut the top off and turn it upside down place it back over the opening with the top inside so when you water it the water goes inside and when it evaporated it will hit the upside down top and fall back down to the soil :) cool little things to try :) LOL
Gday Sir,I found your video really informative and an excellent reference.Thumbs up! I'm running my own small backyard nursery but on a very much less developed level as yours.Where are you based? Thanks,Trev.
Hi Guys, Very inspired by your video series, and was just wondering how things are going and if we could all have an update?? Also as a newbie what advice could you give me on starting a similar project. Thanks again for the video's there great. Scott
Thank you I must watch he next one. When I went to school for Master Gardening they told me never to dip a live branch in the rootone since it may contaminate the new cutting. But to pour some in your hand or small container to assure transferring germs to the new pot..
Hello I'm currently researching to start my own nursery, I feel it is the wrong time of year (29th Sept) to do anything as winter is approaching, my question is what steps can I take now to get started for the new year? I would like to note I am a complete beginner with no equipment, thanks, Dan.
The Rural Gardener I am doing the same thing! I've wanted to do it for years and starting to get plants now to take cuttings from. I would love ideas and info also, if you don't mind.
+naomi chambers Hi ... I didn't have variety names I'm afraid. My sister in law bought a house and it was growing in the front drive. It's pink and it smells gorgeous!
Ideally in your back garden if you have the space. Otherwise how about sticking an ad in the local paper asking if anyone has some spare ground they'd be willing to share?
+Luz P Every hrs until they show signs of rooting, after that just once a day. If the sun is particularly hot then I water more often. Best idea is to set up a misting system on a timer. I write about it on the blog ...doesn't have to cost the earth either. TRG

Glad you found it useful ... I need to do some updated vids this year.
Maybe you should show you taking a cutting off the parent plant and explain where, how, and why that location.
this a great tool for me since i am starting my own nursery.
shannon bobillot Glad they were useful shannon. Good luck with the nursery!
I'm trying right now.
Very useful video thank you. I'm thinking about doing a back yard nursery when I leave the Forces.
7:30-ish I wish you'd made your video what that plant was still blooming...
Good channel
Good simple to watch tips. THANKS!

I got more roses now from cutting I didn't use anything they just happy to grow,,,,maybe some other plant.
Roses is easy them to grow
I really enjoyed this series very informative wonder if you will be making more videos anytime soon as it would be great to see more about your nursery.
Hey Luz. For the first week every hour with a fine mist sprayer, then every 4 hours until they set roots.

Excellent tutorial

You can show me how to do seedbed in plant
cool

Excellent suggestion.
Thank you Angela.
Thanks for sharing. Is there any particular reason that you are planting the cuttings near the edges of the pot and not in the center? Keep it green ~
no reason really ... other than if you use clay pots they tend to heat up on the edge first which can help to encourage new root growth.

Dan .. drop me a note to ruralgardeners@gmail.com and I'll share some ideas on how you can get started. Thanks J.
The Rural Gardener I am doing the same thing! I've wanted to do it for years and starting to get plants now to take cuttings from. I would love ideas and info also, if you don't mind.
Can you take cuttings at any time of the year
+mythical gamer We take our cuttings in the first 2 weeks of June but have taken them right up to the end of August and still had success.
What kind of rose did you root?
+naomi chambers Hi ... I didn't have variety names I'm afraid. My sister in law bought a house and it was growing in the front drive. It's pink and it smells gorgeous!
Good vid thanks 4 sharing
Where do you sell these plants? Wholesale to a nursery?
MainliningTanks a

Hi rural gardener,i want to set up a little nursery,how do i go about finding somewhere,any tips?
Ideally in your back garden if you have the space. Otherwise how about sticking an ad in the local paper asking if anyone has some spare ground they'd be willing to share?
Are you familiar with tree collards? Those are easy to root and keep on giving food and plants.
How often do you water the cuttings? Thank you.
+Luz P Every hrs until they show signs of rooting, after that just once a day. If the sun is particularly hot then I water more often. Best idea is to set up a misting system on a timer. I write about it on the blog ...doesn't have to cost the earth either. TRG
Thank you! Have a great day.
Thanks !!
Why do you put the plants near the edge of the pot.
I read somewhere that the area around the outside of the pot is warmer ... especially clay pots.
YOU DON'T NEED TO SCRAPE THE BOTTOM OF THE STEM WITH A KNIFE . IT'S JUST A ANOTHER STEP THAT REALLY DOESN'T NEED TO BE DONE.
