Forest garden propagation methods

I made a quick video showing a pretty simple method for propagating plants through cuttings in a forest garden setting. Hopefully this will help people who might think you need to set up expensive propagation systems to be an effective plant multiplier. Hope you enjoy!

Neat video! Stuff that I planted a couple years ago is just getting to the point where I need to start thinking about propagation techniques.

A slight criticism: I found that the distortion at the edges of the frame were a little nauseating when you turn the camera quickly. Turning slowly or using a less wide-angle lens might fix that.

Thanks for the praise and advice. I noticed that as well, gotta try to remember to go slow while I’m filming haha.

Thanks Jay.  I'm pretty new to propagating, but I'm hooked.  You really have nothing to lose.  Even if it doesn't work I gain knowledge.  I love that you are showing people that it can be simple and low or no cost. We need that more than ever these days.
Thanks

Thanks for the comment! I grew up in Hawaii and there are a lot of common landscaping plants there that easily root from cuttings, basically just a branch pushed into the ground. I find this really useful in forest gardening.
