    I know this has already been posted but I just got a question about the alternate method listed at the bottom here http://www.stretcher.com/stories/03/03mar24d.cfm

    It says asprin contains willow bark and if you let a few asprins sit in water over night it will have the same effect as letting willow pieces soak over night to use for a rooting hormone, Anyone here ever tried the asprin method??? And don't say I'm cheap, I just want to know if something like that would actually work :eek:

    I make my own rooting hormone out of an aspirin, some willow twigs, corn starch, superthrive and water. It works GREAT! I use as many willow twigs as will fit in a toilet paper tube. Pound them flat with a hammer, and soak them in 2-3 cups of water for 12 hours. I mix the 2 cups of willow water with 1 tablespoon of corn starch and bring it to a boil, stirring constantly. As soon as the corn starch gels, remove it from the heat and cool to room temp. with the lid on. Add 1/2 teaspoon Superthrive and a crushed aspirin. Mix well and put it in a ziplock bag. Refrigerate until ready to use. The starch helps the hormone stick to the plant and gives the plant some sustenance while it roots. I have 90%+ success rate with my clones. Hope this helps...
