I don't believe it, I had NO idea I could cut a plum tree limb off a butchered up plum tree & put it in a pot with leaf compost & layer it with leaves & it would come back. I wanted to save a limb of the tree cause we had to butcher the tree to get the other trees off of it that the tree people did & I thought the tree might die. So I thought why not try & save a good limb of it & see if I can't get it to grow so I found me a deep ceramic pot that already had a good part of the bottom busted out of it so it had good drainge. I put it about 1/2 way in the pot in some leaf compost dirt I had made up from last year & layered it with some dried leaves & more dirt & leaves then once I done that I put some 1/2 sized rocks on it to keep it compacted & let it go after I put a supprt board b-hind it to keep it stable from the wind & I'll be, it's getting leaves on it, I was tickled pink with joy So now I have a 2nd plum tree to look forward to next year when I go to put it in the ground to grow that's amazing I could save a limb & have it come back where I can have me 2 plum trees to grow. I tried to save a bay tree limb but it didn't work so I'm just glad I got me a 2nd plum tree to watch grow & HOPEFULLY give me some plums in a few yrs, I have some other trees I'm regrowing but they're not fruit trees & that makes me happy. I'm no gardener for sure, but when I can take a branch & stick it in some leaf (dirt) compost & it starts growing that makes my whole day great. That saves me from having to buy another tree to start growing, & it gives me plenty of time to figure out where I'm going to plant it as well so I can get the plums it makes for me, AWESOME. I also did what should have been done the 1st time I tried to fix the cabin from leaking inside which is I got like 20 bags of Concrete & dug a deep enough ditch next to the cabin the WHOLE length of the cabin & started pouring the concret I piled up the concrete where it had a good slant >/I next to the wall of the cabin where it would just run down to the ditch infront of it & run off that way. I then saved me some rain water in the pond I haven't gotten started yet & poured it on the concrete infront of it (ditch) to let it soak up the water to start setting up, I did like 3 good buckets then I started pouring water on the top of the slanted part to help it to set up, SO crossing my fingers this works. We'll see what it does if we get some heavy rain from what we are getting as far as rain goes & it it works that will be a GOOD thing that I won't have to worry about it flooding again AFTER we put the flooring down, in a few months to be on the SAFE side but it has to rain pretty good to know. We didn't use the whole 20 bags of concrete so IF we need more we have it on hand, never can have enough for that kind of job to make sure it works. I didn't lift any of the bags I had husband do that I just did the work getting the concrete slated like I wanted it & husband dug the ditch so that was a big help I just got everything moved from the cabin. No I didn't do any straining on my body but I'm sure glad that we got it done B-4 it started raining today I'm just praying it does what needs to be done. What's next? I have no Idea, other than what ever mood he is in to work on, I know I'm wanting to get my dog cematery cleared out & redone & that means I need to have him cut some tree limbs out & get them cleared away where I can work on that area to fix it. What plans do you have going on? you need help? I would come help if I was closer to you ha ha ha
