Inside The Plant Cuttings Factory.


 A couple of hours taking cuttings in the rain.  Led Zeppelin 'Fool In The Rain' began to play in my mental jukebox.

My bottle cloches made from plastic bottles last year.  If I had took them intact to the 'Return' deposit machines in our supermarkets I would have claimed back  25 Cents a piece for them.  Have you got the ' Return' machines in Blighty and other overseas countries yet?

My repurposed bottle cloches are brilliant for 'striking' cuttings.  They keep the cutting moist and store the water when the rain or myself waters them.

Anyone else make cuttings this way?

    We use plastic bottles in that way too. It does work well, doesn't it.

    They are brilliant for retaining moisture and protecting young vegetable plants and act like mini greenhouses for the cuttings. DIY plant cutting cloches JayCee.
