What methods do people use to keep chip bud grafts from drying out?  I have
been trying this grafting technique for the first time and don't have a
method yet for sealing the graft.

Subject: [NAFEX] Re: Doc Farwell's grafting seal


I have less grafting experience than most people on the list, but I bought
Doc Farwell's this year and think it's great stuff for an amateur to have on
hand.  I wrapped a number of bark grafts and whip grafts with parafilm and
used Farwells to seal the ends of the parafilm and any exposed cut wood.  I
can see it would be excellent for budding, but haven't done any with it.  I
had tried some whip and tongue grafts on apples, using only Farwells to hold
the grafts, but that was a complete failure.  If I had to give up either
parafilm or Farwells, the Farwells would have to go.  But it's nice to have
both.
