Watched a Youtube video yesterday from an American `expert` who suggested spraying tomato plants with a solution of asprin dissolved with water. Supposed to increase vitamins,taste, growth etc. Anyone come across this before? I wouldn`t bother even if Monty Don suggested it.

Yep: onion, beans and squash plants totally devastated......
