Air tools are often rated as âAverage CFM.â âAverage CFMâ is typically based on a 25% duty cycle (15 seconds out of a min.). This sometimes creates a problem with tools that are used on a continuous basis (ex. orbital sanders, die grinders, etc).
Step 1. Clip 6-inch cuttings from a healthy azalea bush. Cut close to a leaf node because the bottom node is where the new plant's roots will grow. Remove the bottom leaves from the cuttings and discard. Step 2. Pour two or three tablespoons of rooting compound into a separate dish.
Deciduous azaleas, especially our native deciduous, may have sparse and widely spread out root systems. Care must be taken when moving them to get as many roots as possible, and if the root systems are small, the tops should be cut back drastically to within six to eight inches of the ground.
