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.
50+ years ago I was pounding weeping willow shoots with water for rooting cuttings. Later watering with worm castings...dont know where I learned but my best friend was almost 50 years older than I and she taught me about gardening and raising farm animals. ...
I love the knowledge our elders have & we are slowly loosing it.. I remember seeing a comment about the environment,there was a young lady who made a comment along the lines of our environment is like this because the older people didn't take care of it by recycling & she said something else,anyway the old woman said we put out our milk bottles when we were finished we would re use paper bags,our pop bottles were collected & re used,the older woman did mention a few other things,the old woman was right though back then they were not as wasteful as we are today..We truly live in a throw away society what we waste is just madness.. People looked after what they had.. And with the growing I remember going to farms & been able to pick our own,the flavour was lovely.. I have noticed that with growing my own,the flavour,you can't beat it..the veg & salad you get from supermarket has no flavour & it lasts for nearly two weeks..Not just that I think growing your own,along with flowers really helps your mental health.. Sorry for the long comment,I appreciate it if you took the time to read it,hope it made sense..Have a wonderful day & take care 🍄☮️🍄☮️🍄☮️
Ive started using raw aloe for cloning. I stick the cut right into a piece of the plant material and plant it in a fiber pot. Ive never had better success.
It goes along with the idea that plants talk to us. I was thinking how an alore plant gushes that gel when its cut. That gel is meant to sanitize the wound, provide a barrier to stop pathogens, and heal the tissue. What is a clone if not a cut in need of healing? This willow tree thing is interesting. What is willow if not natures aspirin. Combined with a sea kelp growth hormone and it makes perfect sense. Stop the stress, heal the wound, grow the root. good times.@@gardenlikeaviking
@@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
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!
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.
As a former fellow commercial grower i subed as soon as i heard that....i know for a fact people in the biz like myself are about trying new things and figuring out how to do shit easier and more economically, everything you talk about and the way toumsay it says you are like a fountain of actual good knowledge. not just my cousins uncle once said turn the plant upside down to get more out of her bs...
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
I was wondering if something like forsythia also qualifies? Thought I read somewhere making a tea helps for rooting…could be wrong be I’d love to know for certain
Aloe vera with a sprinkle of cinnamon or raw honey is the gold when it comes to rooting. Kelp & fulvic acid helps too. Simply dip the root cuttings in some aloe leaf and that's nature baby.
Thanks Nate, I'm on it like a car bonnet, I'm going down the beach to get some fresh kelp for this one. Spring is poking its head out, the government aero display team are still busy everyday.
My family is Norwegian and my grandfather before he passed in 1992 absolutely LOVED gardening. I know if he were still around he would've loved your channel and all the good advice you have. Keep up the great work. SKÂL!
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?
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.
Thank you for developing this. I started 25 years ago investigating willow for rooting compound and had some success but never needed much so did not continue the experiments. Kelp is great. Keeps your iodine up.
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.
Aloe vera(auxin,salycilic acid and micro nutrients full chain of amino acids a few drops of organic apple cider vinegar with the mother enzyme will help organize the amino acids), coconut water(gibberellin,cytokinnins potassium phosphorus magnesium calcium)and kelp because kelp is great would be quite close especially if you dont have access to willow if you do you could try adding aloe and coconut water in the right amounts and halve the ammount of kelp and willow or double the scale depending on how well it performs being more diverse in whats in it id almost guarentee there would be an ideal mixture to get it going then add mycorrhizal fungi to the root zone and should have ripper clones few more ingredients like worm juice and moringa extract in a vortex compost tea brewer with some unsulphured black mollasses and you will have some serious natural fertilizer completely loaded with beneficial microbes and the nutrients being plant ready yeah sorry ranting all informative though
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.
If one has a vacuum sealer with a canister/jar option, it can be used to facilitate a very fast extraction that will help avoid the start of the fermentation process.
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!!!
what do you do after spring for the rest of the year? could we dehydrate the willow branches and leaves after chop it up into little pieces like the kelp you bought? what do you think?
У нас ночь Нейт,это другой конец земного шара, вопрос по прудовой ряске,или кормовой люцерне в гранулах,чем заменить ламинарию,есть хлорелла,в бутле,что предпочтительнее,пока сад не проснулся,может проще собрать почечный материал для метилотропных актиномицетов?
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.
Great video. I've been making willow water for decades and it's great stuff. But for cannabis I've been using an aeroponic cloner I made from spare parts and I get nearly 100% successful cuttings with just a little bit of sea-90 for minerals and nothing else. If I use some willow water and aloe, it does speed up the rooting process by 3-4 days, but since I'm not a commercial operation I don't mind just waiting a bit longer for clones. Also, using a paint can shaker can really simplify this process. Just plug it into a short period repeat cycle intermittent timer (about $30) and set it to shake for 5 seconds every 30 minutes and you're all set.
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 🍄🌺🪴☮️🦋🤘🍄🌺🪴☮️🦋🤘

Kelp seed start was $25 for 2 OZ ( free B) summer before last. CRAZY WONDERFUL PLANT!!!!!! Thanks Nate, as one of our brothers asked” can we use human edible sheets, seaweed for dishes, such as sushi, I believe they’re FREEZE DRIED?
no that is not the kind we need and often its processed and formed into those sheets.... the only edible kind would be Pacific Kombu or any type of Kombu
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...
If I already have Willow extract, I purchased from a vitamin store any guesses of how many drops I should use per gallon for hopefully the same result? Thank you for your time.
Could you aerate it instead of mixing every hour? Say use a air pump and air stone on a timer 1hour interval of 15mins. BTW thanks for the videos you make. I have been researching and relearning all these organic tricks. Thank you again 😊 good stuffs. Love that your an old cultivater of the green. 🙂 keep up the good vids.
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
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 really enjoy watching your videos and even find the opportunity to improve my English :) Would it be effective if we use sansevieria instead of willow. (ıf we cannot find willow) I read that there are hormones in sansevieria that accelerate rooting. This is a humble question, please don't misunderstand. Thank you for your answer. I look forward to your answer
Will any type of willow do? I've got a weeping willows near me. Can I grab some of the pliable droopy leaf twig/stems? Do I need to wait until new growth in may or June?
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
Is there any possible way to make this shelf stable? This is awesome! Perhaps drying the shoots and grinding them to dust and then mix X amount with water (adhering to the 24-48hr prep time) and then using it that way?
I have Willow in my yard and a pond with lots of seaweed. Do you think that seaweed would work in place of kelp meal? Do you have videos about the use of seaweed I live in Northern Michigan.
I can't say if the lake seaweed has the same properties or not... certainly you can try it!!... the willow is the main ingredient anyways the kelp is secondary
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
if you guys want to order some Kelp here's a decent one at a great price amzn.to/3VyBz09

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

@@gardenlikeavikingNate, I love you to do a demo please
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

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?

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
You can also use alfalfa as its got a natural growth hormone :]
How please can u explains kindly
@alextercisio if you have alfalfa, soak it in water overnight, or longer to make it stronger. But stronger will have to be diluted somewhat
I was wondering if something like forsythia also qualifies? Thought I read somewhere making a tea helps for rooting…could be wrong be I’d love to know for certain

I made it once with Chinese elm. It worked just fine.
Will a weeping willow tree work. I have access to one? Is the kelp powder in the Amazon store? Thanks for the knowledge my friend
Willow trees will work
yes anything from the willow family will work including the weeping kind... yes the kelp is now in the amazon store thanks for asking!
Thank you for such valuable information!
thank you for your consistent support my friend!!
3: 48. That lumber behind the shed won't warp maybe ever if it's stored almost vertically. My dad's didn't, mine hasn't.
Please write the scientific name of the tree and seaweed powder
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!
Thank you Viking 🙏 amazing knowledge you are sharing once again. Have a wonderful day🙏
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.
So what if you want to make it later on in the season can you just keep some willow cutting in the refrigerator in a plastic bag?
I really enjoy watching your videos and even find the opportunity to improve my English :)
Would it be effective if we use sansevieria instead of willow. (ıf we cannot find willow) I read that there are hormones in sansevieria that accelerate rooting.
This is a humble question, please don't misunderstand. Thank you for your answer. I look forward to your answer
Can you use stems from a Weeping Willow?
Hello from Florida!
absolutely!... but just the tips remember that
Will any type of willow do? I've got a weeping willows near me. Can I grab some of the pliable droopy leaf twig/stems? Do I need to wait until new growth in may or June?
I have my own willow tree and I plan on dehydrating a bunch of seaweed this year.
thats the way to do it for sure dehydrate your own kelp!!
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
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!
Hi Nate! How long does this keep? Thanks!
Is there any possible way to make this shelf stable? This is awesome! Perhaps drying the shoots and grinding them to dust and then mix X amount with water (adhering to the 24-48hr prep time) and then using it that way?
Just ordered the kelp off your Amazon site now I got to go track down a willow tree. 😊
Could I freeze willow shoots in order to make it fresh all year round?
I have Willow in my yard and a pond with lots of seaweed. Do you think that seaweed would work in place of kelp meal? Do you have videos about the use of seaweed I live in Northern Michigan.
I can't say if the lake seaweed has the same properties or not... certainly you can try it!!... the willow is the main ingredient anyways the kelp is secondary
What if you freeze 1oz cubes for long term storage, would freezing it hurt anything?
Unfortunately in Australia willow trees are being removed from the Environment. Great videos
Can you explain?
@@crawfordwice they are being cut down , they considered an Environmental weed over here

You are a wizard my mystical friend
Thank you! This singular video made me subscribe to your channel.🎉
Me too 😅

I am so glad I found your channel!😊
Will this help established planta fill larger pot?
quality botanical science brah
Thank You for sharing your knowledge sir.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing this informative video. Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea!
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
Natives planr a willow cutting next to what they are growing. Willow is in Bayer Baby aspirin.
My Dr. has me on Bayer Baby Aspirin, it works!! I'm growing older everyday!
thankyou for this wonderful information.
Great tip.love your videas and explanations. So simple and educational.
