How to GROW a non Clone BUCKEYE TREE

Post by MadMoonMan »

Since cloning and transplanting tress is such a bitch and success difficult if not impossible in some circumstances I came up with this idea.

Had a buckeye tree growing next to my house.. I love them but had to cut it down. Could I take a clone? Yes but I've never beern succesful with softwood or hardwood clones of any kind.


so I took 2 of the branches growin up before I cement it.

let the branches grow up through the bottom of the colorful pots.

once they established cut them off from beneath

slice their umbilical cords.

voila

moms

clone this

Just because I can't spell misanthrope doesn't mean I'm completely stupid.

Sorry kids. Penquin Slide and Diving Board not currently available.

Those darn unions went on strike for the rubber trees who felt they were not getting enough fertilizer or something

So remember to tell your teachers.

And so the pool linings are currently on backorder

and a hole to put one big pool in.

Getting out of the shower to take a shit is like getting out of your car to order at the drive-thru.

why the posts against the foundation???
your ledger should carry all that weight...

what are the 2x10's going to be for?

you stabilized that foundations wall yet???
looks like its moved...

are those 6x6 posts???

are those joists on 24" centers?

your piers looks to be just in the dirt,
did you dig below them and compact the soil anyways down??

I live on a giant rock which has been worn down by ages and we don't quake up here.

erosion and ferocious winds yes.

quakes no.

Its work in process Ben. I'm still trying to stabilize things. You dig you hit rock in most places.

I may have update let me check.

on the rare occasion out here,
when we strike rock

we are required to chip it into square sides
then drill it and pin out foundations to it with 1/2 rebar...

Theres supposed to be another layer once the outside of the wall was determined but with the amount of concrete I would have to wheel barrow in.
