We spent part of the afternoon out on the Erie Canal with the kids today. We were gathering mulberry cuttings to propagate.

Here are the gates they use to shut off the water for the winter to drain the canal:

A little closer:

The path is the old tow path the mules would use to pull the barges. They still is the canal to transport large items too big for the road.

Here is the mulberry cutting haul. We should hopefully get 20 trees out of these:

Do you have a tutorial on propagating? I have a white mulberry on my property that I want to try it with.

I'll do a note on mulberry propagation. :👍

Mine have been rooting very well in my aquaponics system. I strip all the leaves and they still root.

Awesome! You have a YouTube video on your hydroponics propagation, right?

Yeah, try this one or some of my latest. Basically just flood the bed every 15 minutes with water. Eventually they will root. https://youtu.be/t9qYinQVtRs?feature=shared
