hi .
ive just recieved lots of freshly copiced willow sticks and would like to
start my own willow bed ,any help on the best way forward would be
appreciated


Stick them in the ground, thick end downwards (though they will probably
take upside down). Water through the summer (though they will probably
take even if you don't.)

Be quite, quite sure that where you put them is where you want them long-
term, because once they've been in there for a year or so, you won't get
them out again in a hurry! (Says the voice of experience....)
