Just last night I was reading about this.
This book had a small piece on grafting cucurbits, I would like to
know more. I can imagine a very thick vine with a huge root system
on both ends. Or maybe a huge pumpkin being fed from
six root systems.
This was going to be next years secret weapon.
This season I might try grafting a tomato plant to a potato plant.
Yep you get the two vegies on one plant!..... true.....
PS. New Zealand tomatoes need two root systems to make up
for the poor soil.
------------------------------
Right here is a good 'un.
Has anybody done any work on grafting two plants in the small stages of
growth so that there are two sysems going into one pumpkin? It is done
with Tomatoes here so I was wondering if there was any views on this.
