Aspirin

MuddyBuckets · January 17, 2020

Numerous articles on various garden sites touting the benefits of aspirin tablets dissolved in water for germinating, rooting, preventing diseases and stimulating healthy plant growth.

Has anyone on TV actually used/observed/benefited from this treatment of tomatoes, peppers and other vegetable or flowers?

I have tried this in a limited way with plant starts and really don't see any difference. Opinions, comments and advice will benefit all TV members since we know a great deal of web "advice" is not accurate.

I tried it one season and saw no difference whatsoever.

The tomato plants get used to it, then don't respond.
Like a person taking too many antibiotics.
Initially, the tomato plant leaves get thicker and greener.
Then you don't see any difference.
325mg per liter of water.
