[NAFEX] grafting with rootstock breaking dormancy

Before using the Parafilm on stone fruits I would use the whip and tongue
method on the grafting using only budding strips and then dabbing some tree
seal on the tips and letting it dry. Then I would bury the bundle of grafts
(horizontal) on the south side of a sawdust pile for 2 to 3 weeks to start
the healing process. When I would remove them from the sawdust the buds
from the graft would be swelling and everything would look great. I would
plant them out and then a wind would come along and dry out the graft and
many would not survive.
After I started covering all my stone fruit grafts with Parafilm M my
percent of takes increased considerably. I still bury the graftings in the
sawdust and the new buds from the scionwood come right through the Parafilm.
When I plant them out they don't dry out like they did before.
