A huge tip I can add is to emulsify the neem in a smaller container with just the soap and a little water. It makes a huge difference in the mixing and applying it with a sprayer. Does a great job of keeping the neem from sticking to the side of the sprayer.
!!!!!
Great tip, thanks 😎
Yup that works well...good call!
Defiantly, I used a little bit of dawn with my mix.
But it has to be natural soap
You might wonder but we people from India have been using Neem since ages. Soaps, face wash, shampoo, toothpaste, you name it. Neem is antibacterial, antimalarial and antifungal. Another plant that every Hindu household has is "Basil". Basil is anti microbial too. Basil is also used in almost all body products. We have a saying "If you keep eating neem it will turn sweeter". Which means if you concentrate on a same task everyday it will bring fruitful results. Also, people use small neem branches as toothbrush
All the doctors in Fredericton New Brunswick Canada, are going to Chinese doctors, I would like a doctor from the east to be honest.
You know the medical system has broken down when all the doctors in the capital of New Brunswick are going to a Chinese doctor.
There's something seriously wrong with our medical profession and imagine Canada pays for it all, but is not technically doctor recommended!
During high school, we have a lot of Neem Tree planted at the back lot of our school. During experimental research subjects we always use neem leaves as subject. We were able to extract oils, create neem candles, and incense usually as insecticide or pesticide. The tree also looks great on the landscape. We take our lunch under these trees.
Which country/growing area was this?
How is it extracted?
How blessed! 😇⭐️
@@LearnWithLilibeth India.
Thank you for sharing this info.
In India we use need oil as pesticides as well as neem cake fertiliser for several centuries. But sadly, most farmers are heavily inclined now a day's towards chemical pesticides.
This is so sad… I can’t understand why they would do that when the earth is/ has abundantly serviced this problem.. omg it makes me so cross.. pesticides are killing everything and everyone 😢
My Indian friend (we both live in states) advised me to try it. Let’s see how it’s gonna go.
Chemical pesticides amd fertilizers are far more effective than natural alternatives.
This is why the Green Revolution and population boom came in the post industrial revolution era.
Thank you for ur perspectives.
Exactly, same with many other such medicinal plants in India. We got so many, foreigners are absorbing yet Indians are forgetting 😔
Very informative thank you! Just as an FYI so you don't kill any beneficial insects like bees, butterflies, ladybugs etc - spray the neem oil solution at sunrise or sunset, when those bugs are less active. Otherwise you might hurt the good bugs that are not hurting your plants at all.
If you can't afford Neem oil (which is expensive), try using 3x tsp of baking soda (bicarb of soda), 1 tsp of vegetable oil, 2x tsp very mild handwash (baby soap for e.g.) 500mil of warm water (1tr for weaker solution). This is a powerful fungicide ( powdery milde and insecticide ). I have been using this mix for well over 50 years and if applied correctly works well. Just make sure to spray under leaf too. 👌
Gonna try this now 🤞
Is it safe for leafy veggies?
What is the incorrect way to use this solution, please? Is it by over saturating the plant?
I like neem oil (100% cold pressed of course). I dilute with water and peppermint castile soap and mostly use it on aphids, spidermites and most insect nymphs.
Measurements please
I just threw in pure thera neem oil, d limenone, essential oils of basil, lemon, few drops of a neem gardening product, a little alcohol, into approx 70% water, also a drop of dish soap, all into a Chapin 22000…..let’s see what happens😂
The neem tree also grows in Africa. In Nigeria the sticks:branches is good for chewing sticks. The branches/roots can be dried and used alcohol extracted for malaria treatment. I used to pick and eat the seeds as a kid. It is a bitter tasting tree, but I have a bitter/sour pallet than sweet.
Neem is not native to africa its sent to africa from india
@@Ultimatefitness360 Yes and Tomatoes aren't native in India..what is your point?Its like you saying things only grow where it is from,thats dumb!
@@RemyGold i just saying its indian origin it doesnt mena it cannot grow other places..
@@Ultimatefitness360 they never said it was native to Africa, they just said it also grows there in Africa.
@@Ultimatefitness360 yet that's not what you said first time though is it.
I think the best way to use neem is not just as a foiler spray but as a root drench. Neem is readily absorbed through the roots of plants and can go systemic.
Thanks for the information. I used neem oil this summer - on cucumber and squash/pumpkin plants (got information from various RUclips videos - that was not as concise and rational as what you brought forward) - and it didn't do what I wanted and seemed to harm the plants as much as help. I now realize my formula was too strong and I was using it too often. I look forward to better results next summer. I appreciate your measured and flexible outlook on gardening.
For a more manageable size, move the decimal place on the metric measurement to get 1/10th the original quantity of the 1% solution. Neem 20mL, soap 3mL, water 2000mL(2L).
I started using neem oil this year, but I have also found netting and row covers help with pest control. Keeping bugs off the plants by keeping them covered helps with less pesticide use overall. Depending on the cover, they can also help with moisture retention and shade…
Bought a neem tree last year to grow in a pot and it's growing beautifully. One of the most useful plants for health, wellness, and gardening!
Where are you located?
@@LearnWithLilibeth in Louisville, KY.
@@EmpressSoha Who did you get your tree from?
Its a very huge tree. You need space for it in your backyard
@@KatieCottingham I bought it from a farm in Florida I found on Etsy. I believe it’s called Neem Tree Farms. They only ship once the weather warms up though.
I work in a large box type garden center. For a long time we carried the wrong version of neem oil. We finally started offering the better cold pressed variety. Which I am happy to offer. Neem oil is almost a cure all. And its organic. Win win.
I think if people do have concerns about neem affecting larval forms of beneficials or important pollinators, if they have the space they could designate like a small plot that's fully planted for pollinators and beneficials and designate that for zero spray. And manually move any larva on their spray plants over to their no-spray area.
Yup!
I have a neem tree in a pot here in Malaysia and you're right, it survives all sorts of neglect lol, we've ignored it for many years not even watering or fertilising it and it just keeps chugging along. I first learned about neem cake fertiliser from Indian gardening youtube channels, those guys know what's up
Great video Neem 🌳 grows well in Guyana over 80yrs my mother bin using leaves as medicine after boiling it use water for bath it really stoped the itching when we had measles chicken pox.
Upgraded my pepper growing operation this year, and bought some neem oil just in case. Over time I had fungus gnats, aphids and spider mites messing with my plants.
A mix of neem oil, organic green soap and water solved just about any infestation in a matter of days.
I know this is an old comment, but any chance you'd be able to share your ratios and application timings?
I'm new to gardening but I'm determined to learn.
Yessssssss that's what I want to hear.
As much as I’m a garden pacifist generally, harlequin bugs and flea beetles make me want to break out the big guns, but, as you said, the beneficials make me less resolute.
I had the same concerns in the garden this season when I brought Flea Beatles and Thrips in from a local greenhouses eggplants. Spraying Neem 2 evenings in a row knocked them out and didn’t seem to affect the Ladybugs or Green-lacewings. Anecdotal of course
@@travisdykstra3790 good to know. I’ll keep that in mind for future infestations.
Grasshoppers ate my tomato plants. I was just reading about this and I had been wondering if this work. Great timing.
I trust your advice the most of any I have seen and heard on line. Thanks for generously sharing your knowledge and expertise with us.
any type of neem oil is also super nurrishing for dry scalp and dry hair. the smell is not super pleasant but you just need to apply it all over the hair and leave it for an hour or so, then shampoo, and its leaves the hair super soft and hydrated !
Add to pet shampoo to repel fleas
Thank you, I so just needed this tip right now for my hair 😊
whaaat
Just wanted to say, thanks for the metric conversions! That's very thoughtful and handy.
It’s my first year gardening, and every single plant has been decimated by either caterpillars or thrips. Pretty devastating, trying to decide if I should keep trying to revive everything or just get a head start on next year, either way I’ll be buying some neem oil today!
Bought a big bottle of this and we mix it in water with a bit of castile soap. Gives a nice sheen to our plants! I think it warded off some of the critters that have been eating the leaves of our plants. We use some drops of it on our dog's itchy spots and it helps heal the spots a bit. Needs consistency for it to work on the plants and on pets' skin problems
Hi what is the castile soap
@@unknownuser73362 Hello, it's a simple and more natural soap that doesn't have any fragrances and other extra additives. It's more gentle than your usual soap so you can use it even in gardening, as an example. I'm not so sure about the ingredients but our castile soap is derived from coconuts.
I am new to gardening and I am so sad that I am being constantly surprised by the variety of different bugs and things that come into my garden and eat my plants. I had two beautiful pots of mint. I now have another two mint pots that I am trying to propagate and something is eating the leaves. I am scared of using pesticides because we eat the mint. PLEASE HELP!
If I may offer a suggestion:
If someone doesn't have ounce measuring devices, the quantities can be converted to spoon measurements.
I.E., 6.5 oz of neem is 12.5 tbsp
Some bottles of pesticide are like add one microunit to every third astral gallon only when the temperature is at 75 celcius at sea level. Lol
With me standing there with my measuring spoon set....

I've used Neem oil soap for killing fleas and ticks. It works great!
Been keeping my eye and my squeeze bottle trigger on a minor outbreak of mealybugs amongst my house plants. So far so good *knock on wood* . Really grateful for neem oil. Will have to look into the neem fertilizer!
I was fighting mealybugs on my hoyas especially my hindu rope. But yes so far so good, I haven't seen any in a while!
Hello, do you use the same concentrate that was listed as a preventative mixture in this video for house plants? Best wishes, Dorothy
@@GavinAndShea . No I dont, I actually just use a spray bottle fill with water a good squeeze of ivory dish soap and a few drops of neem!
Couldnt have posted at a better time! Thank you!
I got my neem today and boy it’s absolutely concentrated. Thanks for the recommendation!!!
Kinda weird it feels like you’re reading my mind, I just used neem oil yesterday. Love your content Kevin!
I bought Neem Cake on Amazon, and I am so glad that you explained it and it's use. Thanks.
I treated an orchid that had a case of scale. Just mixed a few drops of neem oil in a little spray bottle with some warm water, added a few drops of Dr Bonner’s liquid soap to help break up the oil and water, and shook the dickens out of it. My orchid is doing great now.
Great video! I apply 2 drops of Dawn dish soap to the water/neem mixture and it works like a charm on my basil, parsley , and rosemary plants.
I am using this on my citrus trees, it has made a huge difference to them. Diluted and sprayed on. It is the only thing that makes any difference. Wonderful stuff.
hi, did you use the extract or cold-pressed neem oil? thanks!!
Thing is I want to grow veg, fed up with caterpillars, butterflies, slugs, but I hate to kill anything in the natural world, I've gone with fine mesh and just doing my best
Another great informative & honest video Kevin! Glad your loving your neem! Very thankful!
Another thing I do is buy dried edible neem leaves and make a tea out of them. I use this neem-water for watering plants or spraying on them. Also, you can portion out a small part for drinking as well. It is bitter, but very good for detox.
How so for drinking?
I’ve been wondering about the certain DIY neem spray concentrations recently. This came at a perfect time. Need to make me some more neem oil soon. Great video on neem oil. Thanks, Kevin.
You bet
I ordered neem oil yesterday, but today I went into the garden and the combo of me "drowning" the pests last night and the day being 114 degrees today seems to have done the trick 💚 Now I'll neem oil just in case!
Thank you! I definitely have a problem and now a solution. Kudos 👩🏼🌾
PERFECT TIMING! WAS JUST RESEARCHING NEEM OIL! THANKS KEVIN 🌵🌾🌿🌱🪴
You're so welcome!
My first year gardening, I had a ton of cabbage worms and read that you can use neem oil. I hadn’t tested the strength of my ratio oil to water on a leaf first and I accidentally killed all of my kohlrabi… my first lesson in pest control.
Great video. So I just sprayed these moth caterpillars on my Cana’s yesterday but they didn’t die, now I know they have to ingest the plant more to take up the neem oil! Mystery solved!
Thank you for this information. For me, my concern is always will it affect my dogs & the wildlife, environment around me. So thanks for making that clear here. I'm struggling with pmd on my magnolia tree every August when it gets humid here in south western Ontario 🇨🇦 I've cut it back for better air flow, clear all leaves etc., But now I know what to do to further help my tree. Ty ☺️
I was surprised to you haven’t done a video about Neem oil yet. It glad you did! Your video was very helpful than others I watched. Love your channel! Happy holidays!!
Timing! Just got my first bottle today. Thanks for the vid
I have tried spraying if it’s off and cutting leaves off and they absolutely still destroy all of my plants before my fruits and vegetables ripen. And, every year it gets worse. I was not even going to garden any of the plants at if it’s like this year to see if it would make a difference for future planting, but I have decided to give it one more shot with your neem recipe. I also planted fennel, flowers, and tons of onion to repel and that did not work at all. I literally would sprinkle onion all over my plants once a week with no effect. I really hope neem works!
This is SUPER HELPFUL. Wish I'd seen it before the the power ruined my pumpkins. Next year will be better. Epic Gardener is truly EPIC.
Your recipe for neem should include drops of clover and rosemary essential oils. The smell of them detracts pests too.
The spray should be applied in early am hours on veggie garden issues so that the stickiness of neem does not cook leaves as it’s absorbed. And doing so in morning means your not spraying bees, lacewings, butterflies, ladybugs, etc. if you have serious issues, then only every couple days until controlled then back to every couple weeks for preventative. Too much will kill plants because it clogs pores of leaves that allow them to breathe.
what do you know about spraying fruit trees am I too late in the season? Cheers my x was a Tillotson His dad was partners of the Frolics on Salisbury Beach MA
Lost my whole planting of cantaloupe because of mildew. Didn't know what to do. As I'm new with the gardening aspect. Will definitely get neem oil for my next planting
Will powdered milk work, too?
New gardener experiencing mealy bugs for the first time. Just bought neem oil a couple hours ago, so this is timely.
Did it work for Mealybugs?
Yes, did it work for mealy bugs?
Spray water on/under the leaves early in the day first before resorting to other remedies. This is usually sufficient to control pests.
Super informative as usual. For some reason though, I was also under the impression that you could use a neem oil / soap / water solution (in more or less the same quantities you’ve listed) as a soil drench if you had certain nasties such as fungus gnat larvae. I wouldn’t use it this way in the garden though because of its widespread effect, but just on indoor houseplants that are in pots.
Yes im afraid to harm innocents outside with neem.
You can but mosquito bits tend to work better for gnats
I occasionally do a soil drench on my orchids for fungus gnats, it works very well on keeping them under control.
This is the best video I have found .. I just got some need oil and I'm going to try this .. Thank You ❣️
Thanks for the details, including what it is and where it comes from. Going to try it on my tomatoes in Georgia. Blight is my blight.
My son asked me to repot some lemon tree starts for him. There a little black/brown dots on the under side of some of the leaves which I think are bugs because I can get them off and in a couple of days I will see a few more. I researched and found your video. I will spray the plants before transplanting them into a larger pot. I may have missed it in your video, but I was wondering how often I should spray the plants? Your videos are wonderful and chocked full of information. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us.
the net makes it like you live right next door to me!!! so smart!!!
and you never said "LIKE" once lol
Wow! I have never heard of neem cakes. Have used neem oil for several years, but probably the lower quality types you reference. Good information! Thank you.
Love it! Just used it today for that darn powdery mildew! Works great:)
Great, informative video! You delivered the info you said you were gonna cover. So tired of video's with great headlines that don't deliver!! Congrats.
Im now a new subscriber...many thx.
I didn’t dilute well enough and completely fried a few plants last week 😭 chalking it up to a learning experience!
Oh no!
I have also been told not to spray Neem oil above 80F deg.
It's hard to apply too much. It's very forgiving. But don't apply in the sun or when there will soon be sun.
Hello, it often happens to burn your plants with neem oil, this has happened to me several times, and the heat of the sun is not the problem. Neem oil mixes very badly with soap and water (even with frequent shaking), and when sprayed, some plants receive a much too high concentration, while other plants get very little.
Be very careful never to spray your plants when they are in bloom. Not knowing it at first, I burned a lot of strawberry blossom.
Super helpful! Would you please make a video on how to identify, prevent and treat fungal infections?
Not that you care or have time to but Im so glad you aren’t doing product placement ads for products you were given. Back in my top 3 gardening Chanel’s again!
I will do some of those for sure though, please keep that in mind! Partnering with brands I respect is vital to EG.
I totally understand you need to have sponsors. The chicken coupe video really turned me off though. I wanted my 20 mins of life back, lol. You have taught and insured me so much. I have built all kinds of trellises and a green house. Thank you!!!
The soap is an emulsifier that enables the oil to lightly bond and mix with water.
This year has been a challenge being organic and having everything thrown at my babies (plants): white flies, aphids, spider mites, under ground diggers, other rodents, weasels, birds, bunnies, deer, mold, .... Neeming it up this evening! Thanks, I forgot about Neem too
You have an answer for everything! Thank you 🙏
VERY COOL _ I LOVE it when the resources are utilized to the very last by-product, in a sustainable way
Thanks for the Knowledge Kevin! I heard different folks referencing the use of Neem oil but had no idea what it was or how it worked. Now I know thanks to you. Keep up the great work! (It's probably too late for my garden this year, but next year. . :-)
Just popping in to say GREAT job on that pronunciation on the tree that Neem comes from. How many takes did it take you to get it? LOL! I work for a plant nursery and one of my first tips from a co-worker was, everyone pronounces things differently, just say it with confidence and it will be right. :) You sound very confident. Have a great week Kevin, and thanks for this video and ALL your others and those to come on all your channels. You are a gem and it's a pleasure to learn from you.
using it on my snake plant rn! just got one from home depot (the only garden center near me that has a small snake plant available) the leaves are wrinkled and so i dont know if it is from underwatering or pests... probably underwatering but using the preventative recipe just in case. thank you for sharing your knowledge! :) super helpful
I'm from Sri Lanka and there's a company here that actually sells a product with neem oil and a water/oil binding agent premixed. You just need to add water and spray! Doesn't seem as strong as what was mentioned in the video, though - I need to spray it on my plants on a weekly basis to repel pests effectively 😏.
Neem is such a great herb great for hair,skin,etc
As i m an indian i know that how important is neem for every indian..
No one can explain the benefits of this miracle tree in words..
This video talks about everything but how to use neem oil! have to wait till the end to get to the recipe.
THANK YOU I use neem oil for my succulents. Great info
I just came home from getting some Castile Peppermint and Tea Tree soap with some neem oil and this video was here. lmao. The force is strong with this one.
Great video Kevin. I like the tip about the Neem fertilizer. Being from Hawaii I had no idea Aina produced that product!
I've been needing this video!
Just did my Neem with Dr. Bronners and a touch of cayenne last night. Works great.
( For a quart ) I mix it in a pint jar, if the oil floats add a little more soap. I use a Castile soap so it’s free of any crap for lack of a better word. 2 tsp neem oil, 1 tsp liquid Castile soap ok here’s the freaky part. Once that’s mixed up I add a tbsp of ground cinnamon, yup cinnamon. It’s good for the plant plus it’s a anti fungal. In case you may have Blight. The total mixture will combat bad insects and fungal diseases. I read a persons baking soda recipe in the comments, it works very well… 👍 happy gardening
Neem oil worked amazingly for a spidermite problem I had on a couple of my indoor plants (Maranta, Ctenanthe). Lost a couple new leaves because I think I left it on for slightly too long but otherwise it worked great (I haven't used it on any outdoor plants)
Are you supposed to wipe it off?
@@babs3483 don’t think so…of allll the videos I’ve watched on Neem oil, haven’t heard one saying anything about wiping off…
@@lauriee5200 I think, IIRC, I've read rain alone can wash the
mixture off, causing the plants to need to be sprayed again.
"Apply only to dry plants and there is no call of rain for 24 hours"
Some of my English ivy's leaves have sticky stuff on them and I see these tiny brown (aphids?) on them.
I was already headed to my local nursery to buy neem oil, and your video added some great tips regarding
what to look for on the label. Thanks!
Hi Kevin! How are you?
I have been using Neem oil on my houseplants for years. I use it as a preventative treatment. I use Neem oil, peppermint soap, alcohol and warm water. Knock on wood, it has been very effective.

I been using Need granules as a soil treatment for root veggies for years. I never knew if helped with powdery mildrew... my pumpkins got beaten up by that last year. Cheers
Thank you for the video, I've been thinking of trying Neem oil for a while, and you convinced me to give it a go.
My bell peppers and some of my chilies are suffering from whiteflies.
I've tried washing down the infested plants, spraying them with a baking soda/soap solution, and putting several yellow sticky pads close to the infected plants.
The yellow pads have caught a LOT of them, but they're still there.
Time to try the Neem Oil
Thank you for your great and informative content here
Plant some parsley & basil under and around your peppers, you will attract some natural insects that will eat them. Secondly watch your ants..some sticky stuff called Tanglefoot you can apply around the base of your plants, will help stop anything crawling up or down ;D
You will not be disappointed
Just finished about two months of binging a year of your videos. They are awesome and keep me motivated to do as much as possible in the small area I have for growing,
Thanks Kevin, hope to run into you sometime at a San Diego Nursery.

Thank you for the metric conversion; many North American RUclipsrs forget that North America is the exception to the rule of the metric system!
Much help from your presentation. Thank you!!!
Thanks for the great advice, Kevin 👍
Hi Kevin, I've heard of neem oil, but I haven't used it in my garden, because I use a blast of water usually to get rid of pests. But you're the first person I've heard say that it can potentially kill beneficial insects.😳 🙅
I'm glad you said that. It's not a "magical" cure-all, for sure.😛
I wanna keep the good bugs of course. 🦋🌱🐞💖 Thanks!👍
Apply neem near sunset after the bees have gone to bed. It's very hard and can be fatal on plants if sprayed in the sunshine anyway. The research that is reported says that after 3 hours the neem is no longer toxic to bees, but that would mean getting up really early in the morning. Evenings are best, imo.
Thank you. It was helpful. Finally I know the use of neem oil and neem cake with duration and composition details. 🙏
My cherry tree is getting doused in this solution. Went away for 3 days and it became wretchedly infested with black aphids, and ants carrying them to unaffected branches. Thanks for the cohesive talk-through :)
Excellent Thanks you and 1000 blessings from Rajasthan.
This video is wonderful! Thank you!!
High bro. I also highly recommend wooden vinegar as well. Not also as repellant, but good for the plants as well. Can try
Great video. Neem oil is so useful for our plants. And it's natural!
Powdery mildew and earwigs took most of my squash this year, so I am definitely going to try this next growing season!
