Regarding wildcrafting.

When i talk about wild crafting i some times forget some people may view it as stealing. To clarify; I would never go onto someones property to take a plant, but if it hangs out onto the side walk i may take a cutting, as an example i took suckers off of an apple tree last year.#1 Rule of Wild crafting, when harvesting never take more then ten percent of what is there. Also learn how to take effective cuttings, hard wood, soft wood, rhizome. Remember that the plants you craft from you and other people will hopefully be utilizing for years to come. Another thing i've learned, as i don't have a lot of money (infact try for zero budget), don't take more then you have the space for. If all of your cuttings by chance take and you don't have the room for them it is very sad.
