Any cloners here? I havent in a few yrs but I used to have a nice greenhouse at my other house (moms house now, my new greenhouse is still a plan on paper). I used to clone everything. 2 plants of each flower i had (i used to have a sea of flowers around... dunno really why I dont anymore) i kept in the greenhouse all winter and then cloned as many new ones as i wanted in the early spring. Most all my flora on the hill is something I cloned from someone elses yard or pinched out of a garden someplace. I even cloned trees, buit that takes a long time. At the point where I was getting good at cloning woody shrubs, I moved and the clone lab ceased to be. (but I know everywhere I walk I see my cloning handiwork)
I'm interested to know if anyone else was a rabid cloner. I had a vast collection of cloning pods (clear 1 liter pop bottles cut in half do form small bell jars, they work great) and always had all kinds of plants rooting in there. I would get carried away, I had clones of stuff i didnt even want or like. (I couldnt help myself)
Any other mad cloners?
(first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem!)

cloning by cuttings, tissue culture, root pieces, ect. tissue culture is pretty cool, it's tricky if you dont have a stabil incubator type set up but even a half baked rig can work. cloning refers to prety much anything other than seed sowing.

yea cloning a turnip is a bit much but if ya havent got any seeds and you have a few turnips....
