Hello , thank you for your info ! Can I use this right before I plant my garlic in the fall ? As I'm late planting this year.. which is fine w me as we r having nice weather still.

[@joanies6778]

When I use neem oil and castile soap treatments, I put my solution in a quart of warm water, first, shake it just enough to emulsify, then pour it in the jug or sprayer. I just find it helps keep the oil better dispersed that way.

Just came back to rewatch the ratios for your drench. I am going to try this for root knot nematodes. I believe they came in on a start of chocolate mint I bought. :( Will net the elevated bed too. Our plantings start in Fall now so since they hate the brassica family, I will probably use the whole elevated bed for radishes and maybe broccoli and mustard. Another gardener I spoke to said they leave the mustard roots within the soil to help kill them too. Here is to hoping it works.🙏🏼

I'm in San Diego so all my new baby transplants were just put in the ground. So I assume it's too late to do a drench? Or can I do it around the transplants?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

So... if you dont soak the leave its okay but leaf contact at this ratios will harm the leaves. The drench in the soil shouldn't be an issue but I have used it when the plants were more mature. Not with fresh transplants.

Thanks for the video! I'm prepping my grow bags for transplants and found a lot of grubs. I pulled most out, but want to make sure the eggs are killed. How long does it take to kill off the insects and eggs? After I do this drench, how long after should I wait to put my plants in those containers? Is once enough for the drench? Thanks!

[@katyalupochev9589]

High recommend neem cake(seed powder) too! I mix it into my soil at around 1% volume. It has a little benefit as an NPK fertiliser but its true benefits is in the micronutrient profile and pest prevention. As it decays, neem cake breaks down into bioavailable calcium, magnesium, sulfur, etc. Great for filling in gaps that other fertilising regimes might miss. It also reduces root knot nematode impact by a huge amount, like 80%! It stresses and kills some soil pupating bugs eg Thrips pupa and beetle grubs(unfortunately it does not kill the adults, so it’s not a comprehensive treatment). My plants LOVE it. The only downside is the faint damp garlic smell, and the fact that as it breaks down it will be a bonanza for fungus gnats. That’s not an issue with established/outdoor plants, but gnats may cause issues with seedlings or indoor plants. Nothing more maddening than an indoor/greenhouse fungus gnat issue(ask me how I know 😅)

Hi Gary, your videos are incredible! So thorough and informative! I've currently a fungus gnat infestation in my potted herbs at home, after being pest free since sowing the seeds 3 months ago. Unfortunately these came from outside where I have two infested plants I didn't treat this summer. Left the door open a couple of hours weeks ago and they got inside and infested by arugula, parsley and basil. Would you suggest a neem oil soil drench to kill the larvae and adults? How long is the wait period before i can safely harvest the leaves after having applied neem oil as a drench? I've been reading 3 week but not sure. Thank you very much in advance for your help. Fighting these little pests is so exhausting.

Gary, I have a real problem with grubs, a real problem. I think they came in in some cow manure compost I brought in last year since I never saw one last year. I need to drench most of my garden. I should be able to spray this mixture on the ground around all my plants right? I sprayed with neem a few weeks ago and let it hit the ground heavy around all the plants. It seemed to work, so at least it helped the cut worm problem. I stopped losing little corn plants immediately. I would love to knock all those little buggers out before I get completely out of control.

So all my container and. beds are filled with grubs. That is how it is in Maryland. Many are Japanese beetles. They dont harm the plants. You can do a drench. I have a video on it. Search Neem Drench. However many grabs are harmless. Cut worms are different. SO if you think they grubs grow bad guys, a drench can help.

Can I do this soil soak on soil that already has shrubs in it (boxwoods)? Would I wait until spring to get any whiteflies that may have overwintered? I’m so overwhelmed by these pests.

[@jaceeferris]

Thanks for this great information! This would be perfect for my galvanized trough, but I have already planted seeds. Is it still OK to do a gentle drench???

Hey Gary! Love your channel and bought your book! Another KZbinr was taking about using neem cake or meal instead of oil? They said it was gentler on plants. Thoughts?!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Thanks for the books support. The cake is pressed leaves. SO it doesnt have as much oil in it. Plus it makes a better fertilizer.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I think it could help. I just can say on what insect as I dont know the life cycles but it does work on mites. I am not trying to sell you but I sell peppermint oil and use the spray on my cucumbers. It really made a difference on spider mites. I would also just try peppermint oil spray on the surface and on leaves routinely when before they show up and during they period they hang aound. If I had to pick one, I would go with the pepper mint oil spray regularly.

In place of just water, I use neem oil, sometimes mosquito bit tea and soap mixture once a week for three weeks if I notice any fungus gnats in my grow room. Repeat as necessary. I have the sticky traps hung on each shelf. See? I just started following, and I think I’ll try the boiling water trick. It might save me some time, because if you have a grow room, YOU WILL get fungus gnats at some point. That is unless you are SUPER LUCKY, or the boiling water trick works.

Thankyou Gary for all the info you give to us gardeners. Your greatly appreciated. My question today is about my seedlings under the shop lights of 4200L, 5000K. The seedling mix is peat, perlite. My 3” spinach just went to seed and last year my peppers all set flowers in their early stage. The room is not hot, the fertilizer 5-1-1 1/4 strength was given only once to the spinach. I can not figure out why this is happening and I’m stressed over this. I understand that for you to try and give me an answer is difficult when you can only go by what I am telling you. Would it be my lights? Though not every vegetable set flowers. I grew over 30 pepper seedlings last season and everyone of them set flowers before i even got them outside. I want to sow my seeds ASAP but after seeing the spinach doing this I’m worried about everything doing this. Any info would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Its the warmth of the roots for cool crops that sometimes makes them bolt early indoors. Peppers I am not sure. Mine flower but not until like 10 weeks or so if inside. Cool crops are sometimes best germinated indoors and then set outside during the no freezing days and brought in at night. It slows their bolting down.

Thanks for the great advice about the soil drench. I have used neem oil previously as a spray on my plants and always end up with a bunch of sludge that floats at the top of my watering can.

[@LantanaLiz]

You can test if it's enough soap by adding a drop of neem into the water. If it turns a cloudy white/yellow colour on impact, it's properly emulsified, then you can add more neem until it's the right amount for the watering can. If the balance is off, just add more soap until it's properly cloudy. It won't hurt the plants either, so long as they're not carnivorous.

Hi Laura, I feel your pain with earwigs. When we bought our current home, it came with a tremendous earwig infestation both in the house and out in the yard. We had to get an exterminator for the house. For the yard, we mowed and raked, disposed of hiding places, etc, but they still came after the seedlings we planted. Had to resort to spreading a product over the yard that addresses ants, earwigs, and other unpleasant pests. I now do this every year - one application. It keeps the earwigs to manageable levels. Now I can grow lettuce, spinach, and even radishes is relative peace. (They used to swarm my radish seedlings at night - I went out and looked; it was literally a swarm!) I had to dust the swarm, but more showed up each night, which is why we ended up treating the entire yard. Not ideal, but now one light treatment is effective for the year.

The worms I have are inside a potted plant. When I water it I water till it runs out the bottom. After adding worm castings several weeks ago I now have about 10 or so worms coming out the bottom drain hole and sliming their way across my floor. They die within about 5ft of the pot and it really only bothers me because of their gross trails I have to keep mopping. Any recommendations on how to get rid of them? I can repot but worry their are eggs in the roots and I will not be able to get them all out. The worms are anywhere from 2 to almost 5 inches when stretching out. They're black on top and dark grey underneath. They flip and jump like crazy if you poke at them. They also do something I dont think ive seen a worm do before but i could be wrong. They lift up the upper half of their body to blindly search the air for...somewhere to go I guess. Its weird. P.S. I just put some s.f. nematode beads on top to kill my fungus gnat larvae. Maybe it will go after the worms lol.

You’ve mentioned hardening off plants from the sun. Do we also need to harden off based on temperatures too? I have springs plants growing indoors around 65 degrees but the nights can get down to 35 degrees. Is the sun the only shock to a plant not temperature?
