In this first episode of Propaganda By the Seed shorts I'll be telling you about grafting, a method of plant propagation that joins 2 individual plants (the scion and the rootstock) and lets them grow as one. These shorter episodes without a guest are an experiment, so please let me know if you like them or have topics you would like to hear covered. "Short" episodes also have a Q&A segment, so send in those audio notes with questions if you got 'em.

I talk about some tools and materials you may want, like a grafting knife, tape, sealer or the grafting starter kit.

You can't reasonably learn to graft from a podcast, so I recommend some local places where you could at least get a short lesson like the MOFGA Seed and Scion Exchange (Sunday, March 30, 12 - 4 p.m.) or the Mt. Joy Orchard Spring Planting festival (Saturday May 10th at Noon). If you can't find a local class or teacher, I recommend the Skillcult grafting series on youtube as a next step. Intro music is clipped out of Like Weeds by His Hero is Gone . Outro music is Capitalism(Is Tearing Us Apart) by Sole & DJ Pain 1
