You're a riot Alice - a root riot

Hey Guys! Hope everyone is doing ok dealing with this crazy spring weather. Things are a little slow outside - still waiting for some of last years cuttings to wake up. But inside the house we're looking pretty good. Here's my take on Rafed's Root Riot suggestion. I went right out and bought all I needed to do this experiment. I have to say, I'll never do baggies or moss in shoeboxes again. This is definetly the way to go. No mold, no gnats, no digging through the moss to check. No cups, no sottering iron, no plastic totes all over my floor. Just roots! I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Only took three weeks for this process, and I just potted up a dozen into gallon pots. They're all doing fine under lights with big baggie humidity tents (pics on that later). Time to harden them off and let them out for some air. 

From plugs to pots - can't get any easier............... Thanks Rafed!

The tray with the pink tape are cuttings from last years successful rootings (my yearlings). The other tray is all cuttings from pruning my "big old tree".
