I have a cutting from the Independent, May 2014, explaining that soluble aspirin sprayed on to plants can help them resist disease such as blight. There is serious research quoted, and it sounds feasible. For tomato blight, it has to be done before the disease starts, and the dose is 250 to 400mg aspirin to a gallon of water, 2 or 3 times a month. The organic alternative is willow water.

Good use of aspirin is as contraceptive, one held between the knees works wonders.
Lyn .... I is amused!
I tried that once - didn't work
Yes, James Wong recommends it in his books.
Edit: aspirin tonic for plants, not between the knees as a contraceptive, obviously.

...for, as we know, Salix contains salicylic acid. The bark, I believe, principally.
