Aspirin systemic insecticide

Plant experts have experimented successfully with watering plants with aspirin water as a systemic insecticide and promoter of plant growth. Plants naturally produce some salicylic acid, which aspirin contains, as a natural protection. When watered with the aspirin solution, treated plants absorb extra salicylic acid, which helps them repel sucking insects, and they produce strong, healthy growth.

Method:

1. In a large watering can, stir 1 and half regular strength aspirin (450 mg in total) into 10 litres of water, until dissolved. Water plants as usual with treated water or put it in a spray bottle and use as a foliar spray.
2. Treat plants twice a month with aspirin water.
