Homemade organic rooting gel

[Ganico]

Super easy.



All you need is some willow branches. Find a willow tree and get as many branches as you can.

Chop them up into 1"-2" pieces.

Let htem dry, then grind them up into powder.

Put the powder into a large container with lid and then fill with grain alcohol (or moonshine,etc,etc), let sit for a few days, agitating it by shaing it up every day.

Strain it well, get all the fiber out.

Then let the liquid sit out until the alcohol evaporates.

Scrape up resulting powder, then dissolve into just a little bit of hot water

Mix in a tiny amount of gelatin powder, just enough to thicken it up some.

And there you go.

Yeah, I was thinking molasses, but didn't think the sugar would be good.

How does honey/molassas work as a rooting gel? I'm just curious.

Hello all,

I have used willow branch water and it works fine- just take the branches- steep in hot water (not boil) allow to cool and put the cuttings in the water.
