  • One household ingredient will Make your tomato plants stronger and more disease resistant and produce more tomatoes per plant, better quality and more nutritious fruit. Two years ago when my video "Grow Tomatoes not Leaves" came out, one of the most popular parts of that video was this special mystery ingredient. And it isn't what most people thought.

    I have to admit. I tried this method of spraying the tomato plants with aspirin as they grow and I could not believe for how long they stayed healthy and kept yielding fruits. One particular cherry tomato plant I left to grow in early Autumn ended up going all through Winter and still gave fruit by early Spring. Granted I live in the Southern hemisphere and we enjoy moderately warm weather all year long with only a few spurts of cold.

    Willow water is also a great way to root plant cuttings. Willow has a rooting hormone in it that is phenomenal. I always have a jar of water with several small Willow branches in it in my garden. If I have a cutting I want to root I simply stick the cut end into the jar with the willow and (almost always) within a few days it has roots.

      Good idea Brian. I've raised tomatoes all my adult life I'm 83 years old now. 3 years ago I contracted arthritis. I don't eat tomatoes, white potatoes, eggplant, bell pepper, those four plants are toxic to your body they are species of the deadly nightshade (Belladonna). It was difficult to stop eating those plants that are eating most of my life but I did and my arthritis went away. No help from the doctors medications. I doubt if you will post this but if any of your friends have arthritis it will help them by not eating those four plants and there's others.

    I agree about not salting up the soil and balance too much. Tree bark is where aspirin originally and still is sourced from so salicylic is organic in that sense. But it is also known that neighbouring plants can use and send nutrients through messages in the fungi internet, so maybe it happens.

    I'm here because of that video. I didn't really do much of what you said. I didn't see it until the season was well under way but I did use fertilizer with calcium because of your recommendation. This year, I'll get a sprayer and use the aspirin. BTW, I fully intend to watch the video again and implement more of what you recommend.

    Brian, Your information is incredible.

I stay away from epsom salts as well..Once I saw how using an epsom salt/vinegar combination to killed weeds, I decided it did not belong in the garden. Thanks for all of your incredible information, especially with links to find products so easily...

Would I treat the grow bags as a container and fertilize as such especially with the leaching out of nutrients. I’ll be setting the grow bags on a semi hydroponic pea gravel bed to provide water. Thank you for your help.

    I crush and boil my eggshells, then uee the water on the tomato plants,and mulch with the eggshells. Sometimes crush them to powder and mix at planting or mix it into top 1" of soil.
    I recently read crushing and burying calcium antacid tablets gives an almost instant supply of calcium into the plant itself.
    Steamed bone meal added to hole when planted adds available calcium and phosporous to the roots.

    • @JuniorFarquar
      @JuniorFarquar Год назад

      Mix 50:50 with white vinegar, the acetic acid causes the release of Ca++ in solution.
      Like 2 TBS of pulverized eggshell to 2 TBS white vinegar. It will foam as the CaCO3 neutralizes the acid.
      Then add to about a gallon of water.
      Some say let it react for 30 mins, some say 24 hrs.
      At least 2 hrs I'd say.
      Test pH to see if too a ridic, if so, add more eggshell.
      Or go get calcium OTC ...Tums, Os-cal (from oyster shells), etc.
      I crush Calcium/Mag/Zinc tabs myself w mortar and pestle, of course.

    Great video! And very timely! I'm wondering if you used baby aspirin, since the video ~4:40 shows 4 aspirin in the hand, while you say 600 mg. I just looked and my Dollar Tree uncoated aspirin are 325 mg, so would 650 mg (2 tablets) be too much?

    I'm doing the aspirin trick. So far lots of blooms and a few green tomatoes. We'll see how the harvest is this year. The past few years have had mixed results. The peppers advice on making it perennial by potting a mature plant intrigues me. I will try it this fall. I'm in CA too. The Central Valley so it should work well. Great videos.

    I caught this at the end of that other video and immediately found some uncoated aspirin at the local Dollar Tree. I tried it on my over the winter tomato plants in buckets, and within a week the plants put on new blossoms. I didn't know how often it should be repeated, though, and that was about a month and a half ago. I just reapplied some more this week because some problems were beginning to happen. So, I'm waiting to see how they do. Meantime, I've applied the spray to those now in my in the ground garden, and am hoping for success. This is only our second year to plant in Florida, and last year we harvested almost nothing due to pests, animals, and heat. I am so thankful for this tip.
