Re: neem oil
Tue, June 14, 2005 - 12:01 AMIt's a homeopathic spray, and I think you have to get it from an independant distributor. I'll find out more and let you know, it was a sample. I know neem can be bought at a health food store, and that it works, but it's kind of harsh. This stuff was just like water. Let me get back to you for sure.

Wed, July 13, 2005 - 10:41 AMNeem Oil is pretty widely available around here (the SF Bay Area), so just take a look in the toxic (ie fertilizer & pioson) section of any garden shop, you might find it!

Sun, June 19, 2005 - 9:49 AMIf you are using neem oil make sure you don't use it for about 1 to 2 weeks before harvest so you son't have any of the residue and taste left, and you can find neem oil at any garden or hydroponic supply store.

Re: neem oil
Tue, June 21, 2005 - 12:32 PMNeem oil is effective (4 teaspoons to a gallon of water--some folks also include a teaspoon or so of dishwashing liquid), as is using strong water sprays, imitating a good rainshower. It knocks the buggies off (be sure to get under the leaves). Using this method I put a serious hurting on the spider mites that were attacking two of my plants. They've yet to return.
