    I spray neem oil mix immediately after I saw flower seedlings eaten by bugs. Spray for 3 days and bugs still ate all seedlings. It was too fast to stop them eating. I lost all seedlings😢 But other flowers and plants that grown big enough, not seedlings, I spray neem oil on them as well and it works well, rarely see a damage on foliage by bugs eating them

    You need to be very careful with Neem Oil, yes it is a natural insecticide but it is also deadly to the most important pollinating insect "bees". Vegetable/Canol/cooking oil is way safer for the bees, it just takes more applications. Good video.

      I’m no expert but i believe the oil comes from the neem seeds/kernels when pressed, not from the leaves. The cold pressed bottled oil is very common to purchase. Maybe with a little searching you can find a way to use the leaves!?

      Do not put baking soda on plants ruclips.net/user/shortsQgTsuM1-UI4?feature=share Like any harvest, wash and clean thoroughly indoors. I usually spray in the evenings then water in the mornings since the critters are most active at night.

    Does not work at home I've tried this for the last 10 years in Florida every time I try to go with this approach to do it every year organically. But unfortunately you cannot stop Florida bugs. You have to go a different approach unless you have a control climate which would be greenhouse grown indoors.
