- Okay, Alice, I agree, that first posting sounded a bit weird. My
- friend has ready access to outdated birth control pills because he
- is a physician and gets lots of freebies from drug salesmen. I think he
- just powders them, mixes the powder with water and puts it on the
- rooting mixture (sand+peat moss) that he puts the cuttings in.

- As to gibberellic acid. I posted a question about this application to
- bionet plants and got a very thorough and definitive answer-- it does
- NOT promote adventitious root growth. It controls inter-nodal growth
- and is useless as a rooting stimulant.
