This review is from: An Introduction to Plant Propagation (DVD)

I was expecting a book for some reason, but was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the DVD! It explains and illustrates propogation of all types of plants and reviews the tools needed, etc. It's extremely long...I actually haven't been able to watch the whole thing! I highly recommend it!
