Mary, double-dipping is socially unacceptable. Er, uhh wait...I think that only applies to dipping the second half of a tortilla chip in the group guacamole bowl. Smiling

But yes, willow tea and cinnamon would go hand in hand just fine. And yes, woofie, it'll certainly help stave off damping off in your seed flats as well.

And Mary, smelling cinnamon has actually been shown to quicken brain functions as well:

"Research led by Dr. P. Zoladz and presented April 24, 2004, at the annual meeting of the Association for Chemoreception Sciences, in Sarasota, FL, found that chewing cinnamon flavored gum or just smelling cinnamon enhanced study participants' cognitive processing. Specifically, cinnamon improved participants' scores on tasks related to attentional processes, virtual recognition memory, working memory, and visual-motor speed while working on a computer-based program."

Other health related topics with cinnamon show it's been used in Ayurveda for thousands of years and in the more recent time western medical research has shown it can lower blood glucose, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol. Keep in mind if you are on any meds it could have negative side affects or the like so check with your doctors first.

(edited for spelling. maybe no enough cinnamon in my coffee this morning)
