In this episode we’re diving into asexual propagation: making clones of a plant we want. For beginners! There are more ways, but these are the easiest!!
AKA- Why My Baby Strawberries are Yucky.

AKA- How to steal plants.

Think of it as taking the complete DNA of a plant you love and bringing it home to grow in your garden.

I cover:
🌱 Root cuttings – the basics, tips, and tricks for plants like comfrey that practically clone themselves.
🌱 Cuttings – how to take branch cuttings, caring for them, and maximizing your “strike rate.” (This needs its own episode!)
🌱 Grafting – a more advanced way to join plants for strong root systems and delicious fruit.
🌱 Root division and runners – from grasses and sugarcane to strawberries, learn how to multiply your plants efficiently.

Along the way, I share my own experiments, confessions, and share the joy of “free” gardening—getting plants from friends, neighbours, or the park 🙊

By the end of this episode, you’ll see why asexual propagation is perfect for creating more of the plants you love.

Grab a fork, a spade, or just your curiosity—and let’s grow something amazing together!
