The comment section of this channel is truly one of a kind. Every time I look there is someone giving some in depth scientific breakdown of what is happening! In the eggshell video several people gave a chemical reaction breakdown and why it works! It’s actually crazy
Speaking of eggshells; raw crushed ='s more calcium
Baked ='s more potassium
Basically, asprin is a plant available silisalic acid. It strengthens the cell walls and it also makes the plant think it's being attacked by insects in which it produces more of its own natural insect fighting chemical. Happy gardening everyone around the world, green love from Australia 💚☘️🙏
lol I am glad that I have this information now. But I really wish I would have had it at the beginning of the planting season. lol The pill bugs and earwigs wiped all my seedlings out. :( My garden isn't what I hoped it would be.
You can use this asprin anytime
Just FYI--it's spelled, "salicylic acid." But you are otherwise totally correct, and thanks for sharing that valuable bit of information with the rest of us. Most people aren't aware of all the medicines growing in our gardens and woodlands.
@@simonlang2485 thanks, I knew it was one way or the other.
Surely the word is salycilic acid because of the willows Latin name sale.
Herbalist here - Aspirin is from the bark of the white willow tree, not the dogwood tree.
The bark of white willow contains salicin, which is a chemical similar to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid).
Why don’t you make your own calcium acetate? Crush egg shells, put in a jar and add white vinegar. Let it set a few days, mix it up periodically and when the vinegar has finished reacting to the egg shells, the solution stops bubbling. You got calcium acetate. Mix 1 TBL to 1 gallon of water. Plants absorb it immediately. Egg shells take forever to break down in the soil.
I started making a LAB this year to add to all my planting beds + tomatoes. It uses a fermented rice wash water + fermented milk, strain the solids, keep liquid in the fridge. Couple tsp. added to dechlorinated 2 gallons water. Add to already wet soil. I think it has helped quite a bit.
Oh I’m so glad I found this!! We’ve had many days of 106 ish days and super low humidity. My tomatoes have been growing really well but most of them (in the same area of my garden) have all stopped flowering.. I can’t wait to start this treatment! 🙏 thank you for sharing this!
Will the caffeine in BC powder harm any plants? Did you find a source of BC w/o caffeine added?
I use epsom salts, in the beginning of the tomato plants, and then again a good month later, I always found it really boosted them... I will try your trick as well. Thank you
Salts can build up in the soil if used regularly. So short term gain could be longer term soil degradation.
Zone 3 here with alkaline soil . Aspirin foliar treatment here is very effective. It's noticeable the difference in the leaves. Darker green and almost leathery. I have always used 2 aspirin/gallon.
I'll be trying all your other suggestions.
Happy gardening
@@ZenGardenOasis.Will the aspirin work on grass Bermuda grass on the lawn? Trying to get the grass green and get rid of the weeds and get the grass growing
Zone 8a. Trees are also a factor and shade.
In British Columbia, Canada, the dogwood tree is a protected species. We get our aspirin derivative from the willow tree.
If you want to save a step, just use BC Powders. I've been adding 1 pack to a gallon and watering in once a month...really helps with the heat/humidity issues in the Ozarks/7B area. Great advice and will be adding egg powder, too :)
Great tip!
What’s BC powder??
@@gailsawyerit's a headache powder
Thank you for the tip I was wondering if bc powder would work. I have arthritis in my hands and that will make it so much easier
My first thought when he was crushing aspirin was wondering if BC would work. You answered it thanks. Never heard of BC until I moved to Texas in ‘79.
Thank you so much. I follow your channel and find it so informative. I am in the process extending our vegetable garden here in the Australian Snowy Mountains. We are in the middle of a very cold winter, we have a relatively short growing season, so I will be starting to prepare my seeds in the next few weeks. Your aspirin tip of soaking the seeds is very helpful and I will be doing that with mine.
Once again thank you for your great help.
Wow I never knew anywhere in Australia had snow. Happy gardening. 👍
I have 1 tomato plant😂 it produced 4 tomato’s with back spots but we’ve had 113 degree heat here! I feed, water, but did not shade it! My lemon cucumbers and Okra are nice but sad are the squash as well! So I’ll try the Aspirin and I have some pre glutathione powder that is whey I’m going to add since the scientist who started that product stated he used it on his end of summer tomato’s and they came back full force😮 thank you so much for the help❤ I’ve gardened for years organically yet forgot this trick! Have used hydrogen peroxide before as well, not this year but 1st year in this area!
Tomatoes with black spots need calcium.
I take willow bark! Capsules would make it easier, since I won’t have to crush them! Good advice! Thx!😊
Thank you for your time
Thank you.
👏👏👏Thank you excellent video explanation
This works really well!
I've been using this myself.
Thank you very much for sharing this with everyone!!

Willow bark contains salicin, which is converted to salicylic acid, the active ingredient in Aspirin.
Dogwood bark does not contain salicin or salicylic acid.
I believe the plant that he needs to refer to is willow bark.
You are correct, it's white willow bark
all willow works it's just different levels of salicylate acid. Also make a tea from willow bark it's the best root starter in the planet 😊
Jamaican Dogwood (Piscidia erythrina or Piscidia piscipula) and the bark, at least on the roots has been used for pain etc if you can trust those Yale folks, but y'all could google that like i did. Similarto how Willow does.
I believe the correct pronunciation of acetylsalicylic acid (aka "Aspirin," which is taken from the Latin, "from the willow." Of course I could be wrong, but we could always look it up. Thanks for the interesting garden information. I truly appreciate it.
I use only water with the garlic, red and black pepper 🌶️ + 3 draps of dishwasher Joy 👍
Excellent video. Hugs from Texas
I'm allergic to it, but I have it. Must be plain asprin. Been using it in my garden forever, because my grandpa did. I have no allergy issues with my foods, using it. Its Incredible for peppers.
What would you do for grasshoppers 😊
Cool setup you’ve got there..🎉
Another gardener mixed it and sprayed it on. Every two weeks for 3 applications. I believe it worked on my garden to strengthen the plants this year until now. I didn’t spray the third application 4 weeks ago and even with other sprays I’m seeing leaf spot now. Is it too late on late July. This is when the diseases show up here.
I would try….limited time left in the garden at any rate.
I think it's White Willow that is natural aspirin and not Dogwood.
Psst...red willow
It is
❤Thank you & God bless you
Been doing this for all my container tom plants this year, I'm a believer. Literally everything in my garden has munching pests in it..... except for my 60 tomato plants which have basically zero pests
@@mattgohlke8216 no pests in mine
You do not have to crush the ASA at all.
All you need to do is to drop the tablet in water, and it will desolve almost immediately. Try it!
Some have a coating to slow it dessolving to get it past the stomach. Use uncoated ones.
I bought a whole bottle for the garden but forgot to try this. Thanks for the reminder!
You are so welcome!
I will have to try the Aspirin and see how it helps, that's a good idea. I thought it was the Willow tree? That's ok, none of use are perfect!
I was able to get aspirin powder. The concentration was higher so I just used one. It works great. I do it every two weeks.
Thanks for sharing!
Should try Goodie powders....or Stan back
I’m Cherokee and very involved in Native community here in Ca. I’ll have to ask an elder! My husband and I have 17 acres here and we are starting a Native plant nursery so we have been growing Native dogwoods from seed. It will be great to add this to the list of medicinal uses of dogwood. ❤
I believe it’s derived from willow bark not dogwood…
I was going by memory, so I double checked via google. Dogwood was used as a pain reliever. Cheers.
He's misspoke and it's Willow bark not dogwood. I'm also of Cherokee Indian decent. My great grandmother was full blooded Cherokee and she was a medicine woman and some of her medicine knowledge has been passed down. Unfortunately, she died before I was old enough to learn very much from her and my grandmother didn't try to teach me or anyone else.
@@elizabethnewlin9161 Oh that is sad that the natural medicine knowledge was not passed down to you. We need to remember those things. ☹Maybe you could get another Cherokee to teach you what you missed. I sure would like to know those things.
HALITO (hello) from Choctaw native in Oklahoma.
I believe it's great for the nightshade vegetables.
Happy gardening.
Love your informative videos, great suggestions and potential garden fixes, but there is a lot of repetition which causes me to speed up to half time. Sometimes less is more for some of us. 🍃😊🍃
What about the honey bees? Are they safe if I feed or spray aspirin?
@@margaretpetersen8586 yes definitely if added to watering.
And as as side note the tender willow branches are boiled into a tea and cooled off of course and used as a natural rooting compound especially for grafting
Worked great on my tomatoes and, I now have much less pain.
Just subscribe, thanks for great info
Thanks for the sub!
For calcium why not get gypsum in a 40-50 pound bag then store that in a bucket? Sprinkle it in before planting, then every other month.
Why not just chicken poop fertilizer? Apply some before planting and then sprinkle around the tomatoes one time a month. Also I put in two cups of the chicken poop in a 5 gallon bucket and let it sit in water for 2 days. Mix before watering plants. I’ve never used aspirin in my life. I’m skeptical but I may try that. You seem like an honest person. Have a fun summer.
The asprin works for general immune health, its not for fertilizer
Chicken poop needs to be composted before use as it will burn the plants and roots if not composted first.
Where I live chicken poop is expensive and not readily available. We use goat manure.
QUESTION: I had shingles from spring 2023 to Fall of 2024 so missed out on gardening for 2 summers. But my compost tea is still in the barn, can I still use it? Does it sour, or go bad after a certain amount of time?
Where is Hamiltonville? I grew up in Alabama just North of Geneva and I have driven all over Northwest Florida. I enjoy your show and I appreciate the information. I live near Ma on Ga now.
Hamiltonville? Never heard of it…
Awesome video. I heard you mention you used this on a rose plant? Will this work on boston ferns Kimberly queen ferns etc other flower garden plants? Like canna lily, sun patients, inpatient plants, vinca, sweet potato vine, pemtas, snap dragon, mums, lavender etc?
Aspirin - it’s willow bark not dogwood bark
It is a common misconception that aspirin is found in the bark of the willow tree. A related compound called salicin does indeed occur in willow bark, thereby explaining the use of the bark as a medication since the time of Hippocrates. But salicin is very irritating to the stomach, a problem that prompted the Bayer company to look for an alternative. One of its chemists, Felix Hoffmann, synthesized acetylsalicylic acid in 1898 and found it to be a great improvement over other salicylates. A triumph of chemistry over nature. However in dogwood trees The powdered bark of the trunk was reportedly used in toothpaste and black ink, and as an aspirin-like substance.
@@ZenGardenOasis. awesome
@@ZenGardenOasis. Interesting!
Herbal medicine has used salicylic acid, the natural substance related to synthetic aspirin, from myrtle, willow and meadow sweet, since ancient times (at least 2500 BCE). (From ‚Aspirin-foundation‘)
Hmm, that’s what I was thinking 🤔👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Cinnamon is good too
How do u use cinnamon? Interested
@@Mudflap1110 indeed cinnamon powder as a dusting powder on top of the soil deters soil knats * although expensive and also avoid the $store source found with high levels of lead.
I’ve used cinnamon oil at the roots of some of my plants to keep gophers away, seems to work.
Thank you very much for this very informative video. I am a bit confused about what is the amount of water you are using for this formula? Is it one gallon? It would be very helpful if you could show your formulas on the screen while you are talking and possibly under the video, or on your website as well. Thank you.
What about apple trees who have white or black fire blight?
I crush & 'try to' dissolve in a small bowl of hot water, but it never seems to totally dissolve. So, I filter it through a coffee filter, into the sprayer (to insure no clogs)..
😁👍
EDIT: I've been using it to cure mold & blight on the leaves..
Can you use it on pumpkins?
Thank you so much for your advice. Do you have any solutions for dealing with nematodes in the soil? I have only just discovered your site, so hope you havent already covered this.
Instead of crushing aspirin, use BC powdered aspirin. I buy it all the time from Walmart or the Dollar General. 😁
Blessings From Texas 🤠
A bottle containing 200 uncoated tablets of 325 mg aspirin costs~$4 from Walmart. You get 100 applications from that bottle , about 4 cents per application.
A 24 count pack of BC powdered aspirin costs $4.20. you get 24 applications of 845mg aspirin, plus caffeine, and it costs 17 cents per application.
4 times as much cost for the convenience of powder and paying extra for unneeded caffeine which may suppress the plant's growth.
Can you use the aspirin treatment on houseplants
Can you mix the aspirin treatment with the yeast and sugar fertilizer treatment?
I do sometimes. I worth experimenting with a single plant to see results.
Thought the yeast mixture fert was the best????
Does this work on peppers also?
Egg shells being Calcium Bicarbonate is a very complex calcium source. In order to break it down into a water soluble form it needs and acid and the soil microbes will take many many months breaking it down into a usable form. Egg shells become useless in a very high Ph soil and are most effective long term for many years after 1 application in acidic soils.
Great video. I believe I have never not crushed aspirin with anything but a screwdriver. 😊
Great information 🍻
Glad it was helpful!
Is it same thing for grapes?
That’s really interesting - I’ll have to look into that. We have native dogwoods here in Northern California. But I know there are eastern versions of the dogwood as well.
I love learning new things.
I’ve always heard native Americans used dogwood as pain reliever. I read willow heavily irritated the stomach. (Never used either personally).
I love your videos ! Would you have any advice for grasshoppers. They are really eating my potatoes & comfrey. It's like a plague. I tried neem oil and dish soap but I still have them all over big ones & baby's. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and God bless.
Hi Mary…Sprinkling some all-purpose flour on the leaves of your plants can effectively and naturally repel grasshoppers. When they consume the flour, it sticks to their mouth and insides, and they can no longer eat. Be sure not to use any flours with added salt, which can seriously harm your plants. Happy Gardening.
@@ZenGardenOasis. Thank you so much !! I will do that first thing in the morning.
Try cinnamon which also boost the plants roots but repelle bugs
GOOD ADVISE FOR ME HOW DO I ADD TO MY POTTED PLANT ON THE BALCONY AND HOW MANY TIMES - THANKS
They make a simple twisting pill crusher fairly cheap(under $5) that you can leave out in the greenhouse. Wally World or even a dollar store may have them. It completely crushes the pill so you get a better solution without tab particles.
Will it work on young peach trees?
Thank you for this video. Great information! Question? What formula can I use for my tomato plants which are just starting to have about a 2 inch black patch on the stems of the plant. These seem to be growing. Never saw this before? Please help? What is the cause of this and what can I do?-Thank you!
Bark of the willow tree actually. They used to chew the bark for medical reasons.
Goody's headache power is crushed aspirin.
I only use White Willow capsules in my body. Can I use them for this formulation as well?
How about pepper plants? Is this something that would be good for them?
Same family of plants
How much "water" do you use on each plant? I pretty much give mine a gallon each every other day. 100⁰ dry environment.
Show the bottle you have that would be great
When you add to the planting hole do you crush it or put it in whole?
Whole to allow a slower absorption into the root system.
@@ZenGardenOasis. awesome! Thanks!
Ground egg shells are still calcium carbonate which is not bio available to plant roots until broken down. Making a soluble calcium solution will work far better.
Great video, thank you! Did you say you're using 325mg?
325 is what to use
Sorry to burst any bubbles, however, fewl compelled to tell you.. It is the Willow Tree you're looking to for origin of aspirin. White inner bark is soft. Split the whips and scrape white substance from center. Hope this helps.
you are not sorry at all 🤣
I transplanted a peony and it is wilting now Could I spray with aspirin spray now
Is aspirin good for blueberries? I know to have low pH for blueberries, so wondering if it would work/be helpful?
Can this work on Harlequin beetles laying eggs on my Kale leaves?
Will this work for my watermelons too?
For a soil drench how much would you put on each plant?
Not bad man,but a little bit too much extra words here n there, u should work on that, shave some time off the content, I actually didnt even watch the whole thing, got in about 5 min and had to go ,I dont have 19 min to get this tip ,✌
I always thought it was from willow bark?
Horses love eating white willow,
My only concern would be, if you activate a plant's defense mechanism too much, would that make it harsher on your digestive system whwn consuming?
Do u spray it on or dump the mixture into the roots .
Surface watering. Cheers
CLOSER TO THE ROOT
I'm in gardening zone 7b, soil pH 8.5.
We're in extreme heat conditions and fire smoke right now.
What can I do to the soil?
You ideal ph is going to be 7.0 for vegetables. Need to use spagnum peat moss to low ph. Use a ph tester to monitor. (Link is in the description for one I use).
Been spraying my tomatoes twice a month with asprin water since end of March. Currently, 2 of my cherry tomatos are 15 feet tall, and the rest are at 10 feet and thrived through 100⁰ degrees days in the southeast and still no disease.
Wow! That's giant trees no longer plants😂❤. Great work.
May I know if you use 1 or 2 tablets of aspirin for the biweekly foliage spray you do?
@@vivienneokonkwo6962 When they are babies around 6 inches tall, they get a 1/4 tablet per quart or liter. In the elements, they get 1 tablet per gallon, first spray. Then 2 tablets per gallon afterward. Always spray in the evening. If you have any other questions, I will gladly share what I know. I started growing tomatoes in high school with my dad.

I used it last year and the tomatoes were so much better, this year I did not, and the tomatoes are awful. Will use it from now on.
Happy gardening….
Do you use 81mg or 325 mg??
325 is what I use.
I'm wondering just now about blending up some small willow branches and letting them sit in the rain barrel a few days and watering with that. Willow branches are great for assisting root development on cuttings, I wonder if they would work on stimulating root growth in the soil. Has anybody tried that?
I can't find uncoated aspirin here. Where do you buy yours from
Check a google search….perhaps they’ve discontinued production
No, it is willow bark, precursor to plain aspirin. Also use epsom salts=eosom salts..
Do you use electro energy in your garden.
That is copper, to get the energy from the ground + air.
There are a lot of videos about this subject.
Warm greetings from the Netherlands
I need to research that….thanks for the info.
