We're a collective of individuals upset with the way social media has been traditionally governed. A severe lack of moderation has led to major platforms like Facebook to turn into political machinery focused on disinformation campaigns as a way to make profit off of users. Websites with ineffective moderation allow hate speech to proliferate and contribute to the erosion of minority rights and safe spaces. Our goal with Beehaw is to demonstrate and promote a healthier environment.

Self Contained Stool Layering Results and Observations [OC] (piped.video)

Hey folks, hope you don't mind me sharing this. We had some pretty good results from this and it felt like a good way to reuse some nursery pots that the supplier wouldn't take back. I'd recommend this to anyone who's looking to propagate their plants via stool layering.

For those who aren't familiar, stool layering is a method of plant propagation which uses a plant's own potential to form roots along buried portions of its stem. After a period spent forming the roots, the material used to bury the stems can be gently removed, revealing the sections which can now be transplanted as rooted cuttings. Not every plant appreciates this treatment, though, so it's worth checking for compatibility before attempting it.

Some of the families and individuals that have done well for us include Ribes (currant family), Sambucus (elderberry family), Lonicera ceruleae (haskap), and Lyceum barbarum (Goji).

syac: we cut the bottoms from nursery pots to hold the substrate in the stool mound. Splitting required less soil disturbance than the uncontained control group.
