Thank you Xeramtheum. I did see that while I was checking out the forums. I do have a drill and a five gallon bucket and access to the other parts. I think that is exactly what I will be doing next if the stem cuttings do not root. Some of the plants here on the property would qualify for hardwood and evergreen. The desert is tough on plants and unless there is ample rainfall there will be minimal growth as far as producing new growth or softwood. The bucket propagator hopefully will do the trick.
Wonderful ideas.
