Winter Cuttings + A Crazy Spiral Ginger Experiment! | Suburban Life Permaculture

Описание: Don't let your winter prep prunings go to waste! In this video, we're diving into the art of leveraging winter cuttings to expand your suburban food forest garden. We cover the "Why" behind winter propagation, the "How" for several different species, and when we use rooting hormones.

Whether you're in Zone 9 like us or a cooler climate, these winter prep strategies can save you money and help you build a more resilient permaculture system.

Also, in this video I’m testing a theory—can we root spiral ginger cuttings in water and successfully trigger rhizome growth? Follow along as we start this experiment to see if we can multiply this tropical beauty during the off-season.
