The bark of each cutting was lightly scored with a knife to expose the green cambium layer. The scored end was then dipped into the powder. The moisture in the cambium layer allowed the powder to adhere to the cutting. The cutting was then planted into a quality potting soil such as Miracle-Gro potting mix.

Maintain even moisture and provide as much sunlight as possible. These figs will be ready to plant in the spring and will produce within two to three years

Those who maintain snow removal equipment, gasoline powered generators and emergency equipment should replenish the stored gasoline and add stabilizer to the new fuel. Filling the tank reduces the air space, thus reducing the condensation. Those of us who won't be back into the yard until spring can let the gas containers remain empty until we need to purchase new gas.

Inspect the interior of the empty gas container before filling it for signs of debris, rust or water. Water appears in the form of bubbles in the tank. Water has surface tension that will form bubbles, especially when combined with gas and oils, which have no surface tension.

All engine manufacturers warn against the storage of fuel for longer than 3 months. Here's an article I wrote last summer that sums it up. http://community.homedepot.com/t5/Lawn-Care...

Let's avoid gasoline problems!
