PROPAGATION SYSTEM

MIKE,
I READ YOUR BOOK 3 TIMES ALREADY. THE PROPAGATION SYSTEM REALLY GOT ME STARTED. I MADE MINE STARTING WITH 2 X 12 TREATED LUMBER FROM THE HARDWARE STORE. FOR THE TOP I USE AN OLD PATIO DOOR AND HINGED IT TO THE FRAME OF 2 X 12"S. I TOOK 2" MASKING TAPE AND CHECKER BOARDED THE TOP LEAVING A 2" GAP BETWEEN THE TAPES. I THEN SPRAY PAINTED WITH WHITE GOOD GRADE ENAMEL PAINT, THEN I PULLED ALL THE TAPE OFF. I FILLED HER ABOUT HALF WAY WITH SAND AND WATERED HER DOWN GOOD. I NOW HAVE A SYSTEM ABOUT 3 FEET BY 6 FEET IN SIZE. I TOOK WEATHER SEALANT TAPE AND SEALED AROUND THE TOP. I HAVE IT ABOUT HALF FULL OF CUTTING NOW TOTALING ABOUT 400 CUTTINGS. I STILL HAVE HALF OF IT TO FILL. MY ONLY QUESTION NOW IS THAT THE CUTTINGS ARE PUTTING ON SPROUTS , WHAT DO I DO FOR WINTER? JUST LEAVE THEM IN THE BED? TODAY IS NOV. 3RD, 2009 AND TEMP IS ABOUT 70 DEGREES DAYTIME AND 49 DEGREES NIGHT TIME. I LIVE IN ZONE 8 IN CENTRAL SOUTH GEORGIA. THANKS FOR THE INPUT AND HELP.

REGARDS,
TOM

PS. THE BOX HOLDS WATER TO THE GLASS JUST LIKE YOU SAID IT WOULD.
