Easy Plant Propogation (Hardcover): Michael J. McGroarty Easy Plant Propogation (Hardcover)

Growing your own plants from seeds or cuttings is much easier than you think. The plant propagation techniques that you'll learn in this book are simple to do and easy to learn, and they work incredibly well If you already have a green thumb you'll love this book. If you don't have a green thumb, be prepared, you are likely to amaze yourself. Finding a beautiful plant and being able to reproduce that plant as many times as you like is a thrilling experience and it can be quite addicting. Since gardening is very therapeutic, that's a good thing. Learning how to propagate your own plants can result in a great deal of savings and/or earnings. Everyone in my family, from nieces and nephews to grandmas and grandpas, spent some time dabbling in our nursery. Our two sons learned work ethics and the value of a dollar. They also learned to appreciate, and at times be awed by, nature. It took me 35 years of crawling around in the dirt on my hands and knees to learn what I share with you in this book. Reflecting on those years I cannot think of a more rewarding way to spend the better part of my life. It is my sincere hope that you share what you learn in this book with the children in your life. Kids love to garden, and there is no better way to spend quality time with a child than teaching them how to garden. Plants are the heartbeat of the earth. If we can teach kids how to propagate plants, care for them, and admire and respect the plants of this planet, you and I will leave this earth in very capable hands. Jump in, get dirty Get lost in the magic of plant propagation.

Back in print after 150 years

Out of print since 1856, The American Gardener is perhaps the first classic work of American gardening literature. In it, William Cobbett, Victorian England’s greatest and most gifted journalist, draws upon his experiences during a two-year exile on a Long Island, New York, farm to lay out the rudiments of gardening for American farmers and, ultimately, to tailor principles developed in wet, drippy, weed-prone British gardens to their fine, sun-drenched counterparts in America. Full of practical knowledge memorably imparted with Cobbett’s gift for the indelible phrase, The American Gardener offers advice still useful today on all aspects of gardening, with special attention to those plants successful in the New World, including the artichoke (“indeed, a thistle upon a gigantic scale”) and the increasingly ubiquitous potato. Rediscovered 180 years after its composition, The American Gardener is evidence of a great mind and pen at work in the earliest days of American gardens.

This Modern Library edition is published with a new Introduction by Verlyn Klinkenborg, a New York Times editorialist and the author of The Rural Life, Making Hay, and The Last Fine Time.

In 'n klein tuin is dit noodsaaklik dat die ruimte deeglik beplan en ook goed versorg word. Omdat 'n mens met 'n beperkte area te doen het, verander die ontwerp beginsels ietwat, en kundige, praktiese gebruik van die beskikbare ruimte is dus essensieel. So kan 'n tuinpaadjie deel uitmaak van die spasie rondom die swembad, en as dit 'n bietjie breer gemaak word, is dit sommer terselfdertyd ook 'n bruikbare patio. Net so kan 'n klein swembad ook 'n water verfraaiing wees. As die woonplek se boustyl geometries en hoekig is, is reguit lyne verkieslik, tensy die beskikbare ruimte voldoende is vir kurwes. 'n Mens kan plante van verskillende hoogtes langs 'n skutmuur plant, en 'n houer met kleurvolle teen 'n kantmuur kan 'n swembad of visdam interessant laat lyk. 'n Sitplek wat natuurlik by die plante in die tuin inskakel, maak te veel meubels op die patio self onnodig. 'n Kussing wat spesiaal vir die sitplek gemaak word is boonop gerieflik en sorg vir 'n spatseltjie bykomende kleur. 'n Klein tuintjie moet te alle tye onberispelik lyk juis omdat dit nie groot is nie. Dan kan 'n mens dit n sy geheel dwarsdeur die jaar geniet. Die geheim is om houers en beddings altyd kleurvol te hou, hetsy met blomme of loof van verskillend kleure. U plaaslike tuinsentrum sal u met raad en daad bystaan sodat u klein tuin die hele jaar lank 'n lushof kan wees. Onthou dat plante, net soos mense, kos en water nodig het, asook nuwe potgrond en kompos en selfs 'n vars laag bogrond. Geniet u tuin en mag die hoofstukke in hierdie titel wat handel oor ontwerp, instandhouding, peste en siektes, houerplante en die reeks plante wat vir klein tuine geskik is, u nie net inspireer om tuin te maak nie, maar u ook jare van vreugde in u tuin verseker.
