Today I am holding a baby while I type , so I ’ll keep it abbreviated .
We normally bury sugarcane in trenches in the fall , with multiple nodes on each piece .
But I ’ve also started it with two or three - node cuttings stuck upright in pots .
I ’ve seen videos showingsugarcane multiplication from single nodes , which could permit you to get a lot more plants from each cane .
Once I plant six new sugar cane coaster wagon wheels with this year ’s cane , I then planted a bunch of cane pieces in pots , each with multiple nodes .
And then I did some single node and double - node cuttings and put some upright in pots of dirt and others in a tub of urine . I put another hardening of cane cutting in one , two and three - node form in a bin of pot soil on their sides , just inhume beneath the surface .
Between all these methods , we ’ll see which ones give us the good tap rate .
Some have wondered why we bother growing sugarcane :
It ’s not just about lolly , man .
Also :
Because we have been in a bum intellectual nourishment prototype for a time does not mean that paradigm will extend .
Remember the uncanny supply line issues during the pandemic ? Everything is very complex and it is break down fast . We should have staple – and desirables – on our homesteads just in case . We grow sugarcane and tobacco and tea and herb and other “ non - essential ” items just because they could make good sensation in a selection situation .
We raise potatoes , too , even though store - buy potatoes are tacky .
Do n’t be fooled : get food and supply from a thousand miles away – or from China – is not going to be a workings option forever . Be your own pantry and your own coin bank .
Also , this remark onmy recent cane - planting videomade me express mirth
Sugarcane is just marvelous to rise and bask . Even though I just wipe out any sugar , I do love it as a works .
Have a wonderful Monday . I ’m hanging out with the babe as much as potential .
