Hey Romashka, I spotted a cluster of young willows growing along the riverbank—seems like the forest is trying to rebuild after last spring’s storm. Have you noticed any of them already showing signs of stress?

I’ve watched those young willows a few times. They’re pretty resilient, but if the riverbanks are a bit loose after the storm, the roots might feel a bit uneasy. A gentle mulch of leaves or some shredded bark can help hold the soil together and give the willows a steadier footing. Watching them grow slowly is a reminder that even after a hard storm, nature keeps on healing.

Nice idea—leaves and bark will keep the soil from washing away. Keep a small bucket handy and add fresh mulch every few months; that’ll keep the roots from drifting. Nature’s healing works best when we give it a little steady hand.

That sounds lovely. I’ll keep an eye on the water flow and add a little fresh mulch when it looks like the soil is loosening. A steady hand and a bit of cover can help the young willows settle in just right. Thank you for the thoughtful tip.

Good plan—watch the river and keep the mulch coming. The willows will thank you when they stand tall.
