Fun fact about salacylic acid, it’s actually the basis behind aspirin (acetosalacylic acid), and the natives used to boil willow bark in order to create a tonic that helps treat headaches
Willow bark is also to allow cut roses to last longer in water...but I think the limit before changing water is 3 or 4 days...Too long ago since I had a dozen roses.
And here is another WINNER NATE! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍l👍 Last year I did an experiment with Comfry leaves. I didnt want to dig out the Comfry plant and replant. An idea came to me, why not pull the leaf from the mother plant put it into rain water and see if it grows roots. Which it did. At the beginning of this year I watched a video showing the benefits of using Willow sticks to root slips. There is a huge Weeping Willow growing in the complex. I successfully grew over about 30 Comfrey leaves into new plants. But this recipe you you have given to us, is a "Game Changer". So much to be grateful to you NATE! I love your simple and diect way of explaining. And it goes without saying, this video has been sheared with all my family, friends, and neighbours. MUCH LOVE & APPRECIATION for all your love and attention to detail in all your videos. You are the "BEST" ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Greetings from Croatia, my gardener viking brother. I have an old massive white willow tree growing behind the barn giving of lots of shoots ready to be collected. Thanks for this tip!
@@TheVigilantStewards I just stick my cutting into the aloe for a minute and put it in the ground. If you are serious about cloning I recommend a dwc cloner I bought a cheap one on Amazon and never loose any clones anymore
I love your channel so much. We think so much alike. Lol I had some sickly fruit trees that I inherited with a new property that I had bought. As an experiment, I cut a bunch of willow and mulched around the trees with it. Hoping that it may slowly break down and heal the roots or strengthen them and give the tree back its vitality.I have very good success with that. I also recently built a living maze from Willow cuttings! It’s only been in the ground for about five weeks. But it’s coming along really beautifully. I got that idea based on the living fences that they make in Europe.
Successfully made this solution today! I posted about it in the discord. I have many uses, but put a little bit in the water I am rooting some pineapple plants in! Thanks for all the knowledge you bestow upon us!
Nice! I just asked for a willow root stimulant video 8 days ago! You've been meaning to post this video, and I'm so glad you did. Thanks Nate! Soooo valuable.
Have you tried dipping cuts in just raw honey? The antibacterial properties can help plants to recover faster and root faster. It's not magic, but it tends to work very well
Huh. I always thought the salicylic acid was to keep the plants from hurting after you cut them.😅 My local grocery store that has a floral department sells bundles of curly willow for $9.99. I just bought some to plant. Already had roots, too! Good to cut back and feed to rabbits and chickens. Lots of uses for willow.
Found you through a homestead group!! I’m super new to growing anything - we moved to a very small town (1100 people - and hey fellow Hoosier!! We’re in Thorntown) and have about an acre of land and another 3ish of woods. We’ve got a blackberry cane coming our way from a friend and I actually did know about rooting powder.. but this!! This is even better since we wanna do more away from store bought. Thanks!!!
Great knowledge and as you i love making plant stuff and saving money. Never thought about willow but have used asprin. Found a new one for me is red cabbage as it has many of the ingredients your recipe has. Also contains calcium. I always use this as the results speak for themselves; visable results in a few days. Thanks for sharing.
You briefly showed how you root cuttings - do you roll them in fabric and place in water with this rooting hormone? Could you please tell more about how you root cuttings? I’m trying rock wool this season, my many attempts with peat moss/ sand or potting mixes or just sand were unsuccessful. I’m struggling with roses and fruit trees, cherries were my greatest bummer.
Roses are very easy to grow. Just stick the cuttings in a pot filled with compost then cover the pot with a plastic bag. Keep it moist and out of direct sunlight.
I am just starting to watch your video..I am really interested in making my own,I have looked at the ingredients but some look a bit more complicated.. The thing is it is quite scientific,also I want to use/make something that isn't going to ruin my soil or anything.. I have only been growing for about three years,but I would love to root a beautiful red maple tree.. I am looking into making my own now,so thankyou for this very informative video,really appreciate you taking to help us.. Have a bright & cheerful day & take care 🍄🌺🪴☮️🦋🤘🍄🌺🪴☮️🦋🤘
I've been doing research to develop and test an all in one tea and whenever I find something I'd like to add. This dude pops up in the research. Guess it's time to subscribe since it's the 4th time.
That's awesome Nate, I have access to a few willow trees at a family members home, I have to try this my friend! Thanks for the info about willow trees I had no idea!
I don't see why not... its not about the biology here its about the chemistry for the most part so yes freezing should help slow the degradation of the compounds
Thank you for the great info to add to my garden knowledge base! Can you freeze this extract to add to the shelf life? If so maybe put in an ice cube tray and use 1 oz cubes as you need them? Thank you for your channel brother 🙏
In theory it sounds like it will work to me but I have not personally verified that with experience yet although I'm going to start freezing it this year and observe the effects
Hi nate this would work well with potatoes right? I came second in the competition last year 14.2 kgs from 1 potato cut into 5 pieces and then i took ten cuttings , 15 plants in total.👍👌🥔
wow thats fantastic!!... you doing it again??... and yes this would definitely help and you can simply use it to water the cuttings and also the entire plants all along the first half of their growth cycle because it encourages lots of luscious growth
@@gardenlikeaviking I am entering again, more people this year so need something extra. I'm using bio char and mycorrhizal fungi this year, the potato variety last year was Performa and the winner grew just over 20kgs.👍👌🥔
@@nickthegardener.1120 so you guys are all planting not just sections of the potato but actually rooting the cut vine??... can you explain to me a bit more how this is done?... I want to experiment with it myself this season...
Thanks for the informative video. Just found you and subscribed. Starting to get into growing and I truly enjoy it. I still have a lot to learn so hopefully your videos will help. THANKS
What if you don't have a willow tree anywhere near you. What can you use as the next best thing? I do have a plum tree in the yard. Could that be used instead?
Glycerine is a natural preserver. Could it be used with this extract? Honey and water is another way to extract herbs over long time. Would this process still provide the end result as a stimulator? Thanks
I like making my own too.. but indole is literally 4 bucks for over a years supply. Even the expensive stuff thats 40 a bottle lasted me 4 years of constant use (hundreds of clones)
You're gonna grow fig trees in northern Indiana? Gurney's has one that's sposed to grow up here, but it's kinda hard to believe. I'm in west central Indiana.
its a general growth stimulant that helps all areas of plant growth really... its an ingredient I often add to my general foliar sprays and compost teas in the beginning of the season
Trying to reach out to you Nate. I'm a huge fan and I am currently working on my 110 raised bed garden. Would you like to see some pictures and if so how do we connect?
definitely I'd love to see it!!... you can tag me on Instagram if you have the picture there or you can post them to the Discord Chat under the "garden pictures" section... link to the Discord is in the video description

Brother, how to extract love hormone from ergot
Can you use this for regular feeding as well to build plants up?
Oh nice!! Just answered heh
@gardenlikeaviking is it possible to store this so it can be used throughout the year?
Shout Out to All Individuals who turn over the bottle/box & read the ingredients.
From spice blends to fertilizers!
Yeesssah! Here.
🙈🙈😝😝
Fun fact about salacylic acid, it’s actually the basis behind aspirin (acetosalacylic acid), and the natives used to boil willow bark in order to create a tonic that helps treat headaches
True but aspirin was based on another plant, also very rich in that acid. Filipendula ulmaria
@@Atimatimukti ah interesting I didn’t know that. Old wives tale I guess on my part
It’s actually not an old wives tale. I buy willow bark and make teas for headaches. It works very well.
@@TheProdigalGardener ah so I was right? Lol. I’ll have to try it out sometime

Greetings from Croatia, my gardener viking brother. I have an old massive white willow tree growing behind the barn giving of lots of shoots ready to be collected. Thanks for this tip!
U mene nema vrbe nidi u radijusu od 50km haha. Ali caj od kamovile su cimeton funkcionira isto
I use aloe and honey. Sometimes I just take a cutting and jam it right into a piece of aloe and right into the dirt
Cool, I would like to try this
Wonder if aloe can be used in like manner to the willow
@@kmcam2524 aloe is great for plants either way.lol
the aloe goes into the ground and the roots grow out of it, or you just dip it in the aloe then remove and place in the ground?
@@TheVigilantStewards I just stick my cutting into the aloe for a minute and put it in the ground. If you are serious about cloning I recommend a dwc cloner I bought a cheap one on Amazon and never loose any clones anymore
Growing up, absolute silence was mandatory when a new episode of The Sopranos was on. I demand silence when a new Viking video is released!

“Just the tip” and “no bigger than a pencil”, ur killing me Smalls!!
Are you saying she rolls over and you're done?
lol finally someone gets it

thats the first I've heard of the cabbage properties!.. thank you!
@gardenlikeaviking I ment to say calium. Not much about it on the net but red cabbage is the business. Love your attitude and style.
Thank you for sharing this information. I have so many fertilizers going right now I had to clear out the shed and make it my fertilizer shack haha
Great video especially with the shortages of agribusiness supplies
Thank you for always dropping the knowledge!
Excellent tutorial! Very helpful when showing how to pick cuttings! "Best Teacher, Ever!"
I have used honey, aloe, molasses and spit all work. For whatever reason a dash cinnamon works well in a jar of water for rose cuttings for me

Fantastic recipe, thank you! Do you think we can freeze it to keep it much longer?
Just wanted to say that you can make a press with some clamps and two cheap plastic chopping boards to extract everything out of the pulp.
thats a great idea thank you!
Thanks a billion, Nate ❤
So HAPPY I’ve found your channel. Love your videos. Super quality , informative and easy to watch. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Simple Raw honey do not change the water dip the root in the honey then into a glass of water tear off leaves below the water.
Thank you for such valuable information!
thank you for your consistent support my friend!!
Can you freeze it for later use?
Good question.
I have used the weeping willow tree, for root hormone. Works fine.
Thank you! Now just to find those two ingredients where I am.
Thank you Viking 🙏 amazing knowledge you are sharing once again. Have a wonderful day🙏
I planted willow just for this purpose
My grandma freaked out when I told her I planted willow in the yard.
So I recently planted 10 more cuttings 🤭
Could you freeze them in ice trays...then add to gallon water as needed?
I was thinking the same thing
Knew I was invested in this formula when I had to restrain an impulse to reach my crossword pen toward the touch screen to label your jar!
That's awesome Nate, I have access to a few willow trees at a family members home, I have to try this my friend! Thanks for the info about willow trees I had no idea!
cool to finally see a cali picture! thanks for sharing nate :)
lol figured it was time!... I've got hundreds of them
Thank you! This singular video made me subscribe to your channel.🎉
Me too 😅
welcome to the channel my friend!!
I made it once with Chinese elm. It worked just fine.
Just ordered the kelp off your Amazon site now I got to go track down a willow tree. 😊
i use aloe vera gel, it has that salacylic? acid also ground aspirin in water is said to work, it is from willow
Usually when somebody tells you they're going to take you in the basement things don't end well
❤ good morning 🙏 Sir
your a cool guy my respect you Sir
Can you freeze it to keep it fresh?
I don't see why not... its not about the biology here its about the chemistry for the most part so yes freezing should help slow the degradation of the compounds
Great to know-- makes sense as many other herbal extracts can be frozen
Garden like a viking!!! Ha ha! Just got to love this guy haven't you. So into his subject.
Can you only make this in the spring or is that just the best? Thanks so much I am really enjoying your videos
Mr. Viking. I wonder if this rooting hormone could be used in an aerocloner?
Tapin Roots is so expensive in Humboldt.
Thank you for the great info to add to my garden knowledge base! Can you freeze this extract to add to the shelf life? If so maybe put in an ice cube tray and use 1 oz cubes as you need them? Thank you for your channel brother 🙏
In theory it sounds like it will work to me but I have not personally verified that with experience yet although I'm going to start freezing it this year and observe the effects
I just put a cutting in my stream bed till it roots🥰🥰🥰 then I stick it in the dirt I made
18,000 views already!! Yayyy 👏👏👏 Thank you for the knowledge!
Where does one find the kelp powder?
From the beach. 😂
Powder on the Amazon
I get mine at the greenhouse or Amazon
look up ‘hydro shop near me’ any grow store will have it
Got mine from Azure Standard
thankyou for this wonderful information.
For my kelp today .. and trimmed the local willow . Root elixir is going down now !
Phosphate promotes root growth and microriza granules, sorry about the spelling.
As an Australian, I approve of this title.
Man wants to take you to the basement to show you his Grower.
Love it Nate! ThanQ! I have heard that comfrey works but never did for me! Maybe I did it wrong?
I've heard this but never had experience with it yet... perhaps I'll try in the future!
PH control would have been interesting whilst there is "acid" in it.
Awesome session. Thanks heaps for this info.
Will this work for grafting fruit trees?

Can you use stems from a Weeping Willow?
Hello from Florida!
absolutely!... but just the tips remember that

welcome to the channel my friend just in time for a great upcoming season!!
Aloe Vera is my. Go To rooting compound
What if you don't have a willow tree anywhere near you. What can you use as the next best thing? I do have a plum tree in the yard. Could that be used instead?
Fresh human urine is the best source of indoleacetic acid, free and always available.
Glycerine is a natural preserver. Could it be used with this extract? Honey and water is another way to extract herbs over long time. Would this process still provide the end result as a stimulator? Thanks
I like making my own too.. but indole is literally 4 bucks for over a years supply. Even the expensive stuff thats 40 a bottle lasted me 4 years of constant use (hundreds of clones)
You're the best.
Great video on making your own grow stuff 🇳🇿❤️
Aloe Vera, Onion, Banana, Melon....
You're gonna grow fig trees in northern Indiana? Gurney's has one that's sposed to grow up here, but it's kinda hard to believe. I'm in west central Indiana.
I know its crazy but they are bred specifically for cold hardiness the type is called "Chicago Hardy Fig Tree"
@@gardenlikeaviking Okie dokie. I've been thinking about trying it. I think I'll do it. Thanks 👍!
Hey, those looked like apple tree cuttings. Where is the blackberry?
can you also put this thru a fertilizer injection system to help with real healthy roots?
Always great info Viking 💕💕😊
Hi Viking, thanks for the tip. 😊😊😊. Liked
Our area does not have Willow trees native to the area. Our local nursery has “Willow Acacia” trees. Will these trees work?
Awesome video Nate. Thank you
I read somewhere that most rooting hormones are really just a mild acid. Dunno which acid, it'd make a difference.
I get the rooting hormone bit... why would you foliar spray it? Just for the minerals in kelp, or does the willow do something for the leaves too??
its a general growth stimulant that helps all areas of plant growth really... its an ingredient I often add to my general foliar sprays and compost teas in the beginning of the season
@@gardenlikeavikingThanks for the reply! God bless, hope you have a wonderful Easter.
Thanks Nate I need this for my blueberry’s
What if you freeze 1oz cubes for long term storage, would freezing it hurt anything?
what happens if you let the decomposition happen, what happens to the plants if you do use it?
Спасибо!
Is kelp necessary, or it could be only willow ?
it can be only willow but I've gotten the greatest effect from the combo
Will this help established planta fill larger pot?
I'm definitely going to try this!
Awesome gift... thank you.
If you were taking fresh cutting would you simply dip the stem in this like any other rooting hormone?
Do you think this slurry could be FREEZE DRIED and used as a POWDERED rooting hormone?
I’d take a sip!
Trying to reach out to you Nate. I'm a huge fan and I am currently working on my 110 raised bed garden. Would you like to see some pictures and if so how do we connect?
