I’m just wondering if anyone has observed or noticed a difference in gliricidia cutting growth performance when planted at different depths. We usually bury about 20-40cm depending on the specific hole. I’d like to get a little more precision within that 20-40cm range, but the main thing I’ve found is making sure that they are stable and aren’t wiggling at all, especially after the first rain after planting. Depth also slightly depends on the diameter of the cutting because the heavier/bigger cuttings need more depth to support all the weight. Do roots only come out at the terminal end on the bottom, or would they come out at other nodes as well? Has anyone planted/observed a felled gliricidia flat along the ground with shoots coming straight up from the ground and roots on the bottom of the log?
Has anyone else done plantings at an angle like this? If so, any recommendations on depths for different soil types?
