For calcium why not get gypsum in a 40-50 pound bag then store that in a bucket? Sprinkle it in before planting, then every other month. Why not just chicken poop fertilizer? Apply some before planting and then sprinkle around the tomatoes one time a month. Also I put in two cups of the chicken poop in a 5 gallon bucket and let it sit in water for 2 days. Mix before watering plants. I’ve never used aspirin in my life. I’m skeptical but I may try that. You seem like an honest person. Have a fun summer.

Aspirin - it’s willow bark not dogwood bark

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

It is a common misconception that aspirin is found in the bark of the willow tree. A related compound called salicin does indeed occur in willow bark, thereby explaining the use of the bark as a medication since the time of Hippocrates. But salicin is very irritating to the stomach, a problem that prompted the Bayer company to look for an alternative. One of its chemists, Felix Hoffmann, synthesized acetylsalicylic acid in 1898 and found it to be a great improvement over other salicylates. A triumph of chemistry over nature. However in dogwood trees The powdered bark of the trunk was reportedly used in toothpaste and black ink, and as an aspirin-like substance.
