Free plants! Not a sign one would be likely to see at the local nursery but rather the ultimate in do-it-yourself gardening: propagation. Learning how to sow seed, root cuttings, and divide perennials is only the beginning of Bradley's encyclopedic guide to the various methods of plant multiplication. The more complicated techniques of layering and grafting are also covered and, with the assistance of detailed, step-by-step illustrations, explained in a fashion that make them easily mastered, too. Success, however, comes not only from knowing what to do but when to do it, and for that Bradley offers clear and comprehensive charts that outline the best time of year and the best methods for reproducing all types of plants, from annuals to vegetables and from houseplants to trees. Handy insider tips on materials, tools, and environment plus an entire chapter devoted to troubleshooting such problems as pests and diseases make this guide an essential source for anyone interested in practical pointers for plant propagation.
