Pony spit is the key to “sprucing up your garden”, an expert has told The Times. Isabella Tree, who runs the Knepp estate in West Sussex, said that animal saliva was the secret to growing fuller rose bushes. “If you collect some animal saliva, even if it’s pony spit or something, and anoint that little bit that you cut with your secateurs, the enzyme in the spit, the plant can read it and it goes even crazier,” she said. Tree added that “it gets bushier and throws out even more flowers”.
