This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in
Greywater and Willow Feeders.
In this Badge Bit you will plant five "poop beast"
trees that include willow, cottonwood, and/or poplar.

Here are some videos about growing Willow, Poplar, and Cottonwood trees.
I also included a nice
video on uses of the willow tree.
To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
- plant five poop beasts
- willow, cottonwood or poplar (Populus genus)
- must be planted somewhere where they will get
enough water
- since these do not have a taproot, you can transplant, stick cuttings or plant seed
To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must provide:
- a picture of the seeds, cuttings and/or transplants that you are planting
- a picture of you planting the seeds/transplants/cuttings
- a picture of the transplanted trees, or a clear label for the spot with the seeds
- OR a 2-minute video of you doing the above
