Hi- a couple of years ago, an ethnobotanist at the Royal BC museum told m=e that if
I collected decaying leaves in spring, several different kinds, and swirl=ed them
to soup in the blender, with just water, and mixed some of the slurry in =my seed
compost I would have gibberellins.  I tried it, and the NZ natives sudden=ly
germinated like grass for me.  Well worth a try.  Isabel
