The message
from Sacha contains these words:

Our local branch of Morrisons, in Totnes, has some Alders planted in the
car
park and one, in particular, has enormously long catkins - every year I
promise myself that I'll try to get some seeds from it and this year I
really must kick myself to remember to do it!

If you do, you will need to inoculate the seed-tray with soil taken
from beneath an alder around its roots.
Alder seeds will only germinate in soil which contains the right
bio-whatsits. I'm hoping David P can supply the right explanation :-)

The Court heard how the woman, who would only identify herself as S, fell
onto the bonnet of a car from the branch of a tree.
She failed to explain why she had a wheelbarrow full of soil excavated from
the base of the tree but was heard to mutter bio-whatsits .
The case was adjourned pending psychiatric reports.
