Propagating Figs

If you like figs, lots of figs, this is your day! Fig expert Ray Givan
grows dozens of fig varieties in middle Georgia. He has a simple way to
propagate his figs (even Walter can do it!) that allows him to share his
figs with friends and neighbors. All you need is a pot, some dirt and a
soft drink bottle.

Planting Balled and Burlapped Trees

The most common way to plant a mid-sized tree is when it is dug and then
the roots wrapped in burlap. Walter has a big kousa dogwood to install
and he shows the steps used to help the tree succeed. Remember: “Right
Plant, Right Place, Right Time and Right Planting Technique”.

Garden Hose Repairs

Walter is always bothered by waste. And one of the biggest wastes he
sees is a perfectly good water hose put in the trash because someone
didn’t know how to repair it. Walter compares different quality hoses
and demonstrates how to repair one.
