Fellow pod-heads,

  I recently was trying to get rooting hormone from the local gardening
supplier for the THIRD time (shipping problems). After being told they
still hadn't gotten any in, they asked if I lived near any willow trees.
Supposedly, (according to the two women working there) willows are so
prolific that soaking branch cuttings in water will infuse into the
water, similar properties to rooting hormone. Has anyone else heard of /
tried this? Is it absolute gibberish? They did have the powder the next
time I stopped, so I only ask out of curiosity.

Thanks,
