    Mulberry can have a very invasive root system. I use a buried double container method on anything with a strong a root system that might cause either foundation issues or invasiveness (wisteria, trumpet vine, muscadine etc.). Since most plants can live well in an above ground container (large...

    loropetalum

    Loropetalum is one of the harder ones to propagate, even with rooting hormone. Can't hurt to try....then be proud of any success.

    I use an airlayering method on the tree itself. If you pick an area that is more woody but has new growth at the end (approx. 18" or so from the end of branch) you will get good results. Keep in mind they are a slow growth plant so you will be aiming at early fall before actually removing from...

    Salt and Pepper - Some apples are self pollinating, some are not. You do get a better harvest if you have 2 even if they are "self pollinating". Maybe there is someone nearby with apples already and you could "mooch" off any fly-byers. Have you decided on a variety?

    annual flowers to plant for chickens

    I would avoid the regular impatients this year as they have been hit by a fungus blight (downy mildew). The new guinea are more resistant. You probably will have a hard time finding the regular this year anyway, and not at all next year (and beyond), unless they can find a resistant gene to...
