Trevor demonstrates how to save a fortune this autumn by growing your own plants using cuttings.

Steps to Grow Your Own

• Taking cuttings from plants like blueberries or raspberries in Autumn will see them drop roots and be ready for planting in spring
• The Aquamiser system is an Australian invention that is perfect for housing the cuttings and stimulating growth
• Fill the pots with activated coco peat and place your cuttings in the pots
• Label the pots accordingly
• Put the plastic covers on and keep the vents closed for a week before opening them up half way
• Place the pots on the special tray with sponge mats so they always have water and keep them in a bright, rain protected environment
• Connect the sponge felt with water using a water bottle
• You can produce hundreds of plants this way and save thousands of dollars
