Hello fellow #permaculture minded Nostr peeps.

I'm exploring the idea of creating a book related to starting a home "micro" plant propagation setup and nursery with the knowledge I'm gaining working on our nursery at our property.

However, before I get too far, I wanted to chat with a few people who are interested in the same topic. It could be that you want to start your own "micro" nursery for a little extra money, or it could be that you're working on a food forest or a permaculture property and want to get going quicker, without spending money buying lots of plants.

If you have a few minutes for a DM conversation, I'd love to chat with you and I'd greatly appreciate your help!

I'd like to understand your background, needs, and current goals. I'd also like to understand any challenges or obstacles standing in your way.

My objective is to find a common thread in which I can help people using my unique skills and the expertise I've gained, so you can get started faster and with fewer mistakes.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please DM me and we can communicate there!

Thanks a bunch and I look forward to hearing from you!

How do you primarily propagate plants? I’m using aquaponics with mulberry, elderberry, willow, blackberry. Works really well, less failures then misting setup.

Elderberry would be hardwood cuttings I'll stick in a February/March.

Willow would be hardwood or softwood cuttings depending on the time.

Mulberry and blackberry I've had success under mist... but would definitely try your aquaponics system.

I had used that for previously for some shrubs, but got away from it when I got the mist system going.

Yeah has been working great, way too many plants :). It probably helps I’m right by Houston so very humid.

Hello! I’m planning the same for this new year’s growth and development. I don’t have a ton I’ve exp on large scale but hoping to provide 50+ plants of about 10 species this year as a starting point.

Thanks! I'll DM you!

I have just a small nursery I’m running in my backyard. I’m trying to focus more on native plants, so far paw paws and persimmons are the biggest sellers, but I’m trying to allocate more space to plants that don’t directly benefit humans, but are still necessary for the ecosystem.
