I was doing some reading for work and happened across this page on
methyl salicylate, AKA oil of wintergreen, the stuff that gives Ben Gay
its aroma.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_salicylate
Anyway, after reading the description, I wondered if anyone had tried
making an emulsion of it, using oil of wintergreen or even Ben Gay
itself and spraying it on their plants. Note that it actually attracts
pollinating bees, too.
Just wondering...
