but Bill, I thought you were down sizing...72 new cuttings? :-)

but Rox... if they're off his own trees, then it doesn't count. lol

Rox. I will not keep any of the 72 for me. They all will go to donations and friends.

wow!!!!! You really are the best....Are they all labeled? The time it must take you....truly you live the aloha spirit....

I put labels on the cuttings with painter's as they are cut and the best 35 got dipped in rooting compound and wrapped with saran wrap. The rest got labels but no wrap. two weeks later, I get three, 2-gallon watering cans without tips filled with water and superthrive, B-1 and Seaweed Extract. I bring out bags with pre cut water bottles that I do while watching tv. I get out a 33 gallon trash can filled with soil and a big scoop. I bring in 5 gallon pots with gravel in the bottom from last year. I fill up 5 bottles half full of soil mix. From this point on I can do five or six bottles per 5 gallon pot in about 10 minutes. I water all five on the lawn and move to the next 5. After 20 cuttings (4 pots of 5 bottles) I move to car oil trays on the cement and then start the next 20. The prep and set up takes the time but the actual planting is very quick. I can plant 25 cuttings in the time it takes to dig and plant one large plant. I have this system wired.
