  Approximately two weeks ago I made up a batch of what appeared to be, at least
color wise, fairly "strong" willow tea (maybe I should have tasted it). I tested
this on a few seedlings that had become a little too leafy for their stems, to
which I added another supporting (1/4"-1/2") layer of seed starter. I obviously
have no way of telling whether or not this helped anything, but they are doing
just fine. It had been recommended that I try something like this if adding soil
to previously exposed stem areas.
