Get Grafting!
Hi, I’m gardening author David The Good and I have a confession to make:
For years, I was too scared to graft. I put it off. I figured it was a realm for only the experts.
Then I finally knuckled under and did it… and a whole new world opened up to me!
I’m no grafting “expert,” but I do know how to make grafts stick.
Join me in this entertaining instructional video as I demonstrate three types of graft: the whip and tongue, the side veneer and the cleft graft.
I’ll also show you how cheap grafting tools can be, plus teach you how to lose your fear of grafting… forever!

The Top 10 Must-Have Survival Crops: How to Grow Them and Save Their Seeds (a Comic Book)
This little comic book features ten crops that every survival gardener should be growing.
I cover uses, varieties and how to save their seeds.
The book is also funny, which you’re going to appreciate when everything collapses and we’re forced to eat bugs and mice while we wait for our crops to come in.
Bonus: I co-wrote it with a camel.
Written and illustrated by David The Good.
Available in .pdf format for $2.99.
The Brainspider Affair
Yes, I am also a musician.
Warning: this record is not for the faint of heart and has nothing to do with gardening.
However, I can almost guarantee you’ll laugh.
There’s a part in there with sampled Mexican music where a woman with a horrible lispy accent keeps saying “social creatures” over the top. There’s another bit where I play a drunk Antonio Banderas. And there’s a 20+ minute long song about shopping at Publix.
A must own. Get it here.
Space Age
Long ago I had a record label and almost made it big.
Created in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy, this strange and flowing and sometimes violently discordant psychedelic record has found sounds, pop licks, fascinating lyrics and strange samples that combine into a listening experience like nothing you’ve ever heard.
