    well the melon or cuke is still alive. Haven't seen any life in the grape cuttings, but it's early and I don't want to pull them out prematurely. blueberry still looks ok,, will report on progress

    How did you do the blue berry? IF it can be done, I have a strong demand for them here I can readily fill from cuttings.
    Blackberries seem to do well too, if the cutting is big enough. Small cuttings die.
    At first I left this blank...but now I believe: "It's better to keep your mouth closed, and have the world think your a fool, than open it and confirm it."

    Re: Cloning Plants

    The blueberry were really small cuttings, maybe 6-10 inches long. Just for the heck of it, I took an old celery stalk, one that we ate virtually all the celery on, and stuck it in the GB, it too came to life!

    Will post some pictures soon.

    Celery is well known to be able to be propagated from the end stalk. Often it's divided into protions or cut like a star and the roots come back to life. Green onions do the same thing.

    Seems like the vacuum toggle setup works really well. Now I wonder how long it'll last.

    Here are some pictures of the setup.

    this is the vacuum element that controls the water valve

    [attachment=2:1hr5re6q]vacvalve.jpg[/attachment:1hr5re6q]

    Here's one of the vacuum elements that toggles the valve after the autosiphon kicks in.

    And finally, the weight, holes were drilled in the bottom to allow for pre-siphon water to discharge as to not trigger the toggle.
