At the Alberta Rural Organic Waste to Resources Network (AROWRN) conference in April/May 2012, John Kitchen presented on the factors to consider when developing a willow and poplar crop. The three most important considerations for planting willows are proper seed bed preparation, cuttings and weed control. Issues of biosolids and wastewater application are addressed, as well as a discussion of biomass.
