I am a believer. I have committed to neem this year, and have saved several cherry trees that were dying, they now have a chance to recover from the beetles. My cabbage and potatoes look fantastic. This is the best product I have ever used, I cant even begin to say how happy I am with neem oil. Made a huge difference in my garden this year. Thanks Gary for turning me on to this.

[@gcoates7]

It emulsifies much better if you mix the castille and Neem first, then add to the water.

[@joanies6778]

Thanks for mentioning that... I imagine it would mix better in a little warm water, too.

Hey Gary, I'm watching your videos for quite some time now due to your entertaining and at the same time very professional style of videos. Usually, I don't write any comments because I'm just a computer scientist from Germany that started gardening three years ago, for sanity sake, on a much smaller scale, so I mostly don't have anything to add. But one thing got me intrigued. Whenever I watch American gardeners, they always talk about using soap for the application of neem oil. I always assumed that this might be a much more efficient way of dealing with pests that are susceptible to neem because they also get suffocated by the soap. Due to living near a natural reserve, directly bordering my city, I always had to deal with large aphid infestations even though I mostly plant herbs, chilis, peppers, and tomatoes in pots on my balcony. When I first started, I noticed that with my climate zone not being optimal for these kinds of plants and the fact that I'm bound to container gardening, it's detrimental to my crop that I don't stress out my plants too much, so I looked for alternatives. I noticed after watching german gardening channels and browsing different gardening supply shops that cold-pressed neem oil usually comes with a dirt-cheap emulsifier mixed in, or you can buy that stuff separately. The emulsifier I'm talking about is called Rimulgan. It's a compound found in castor oil, but at the end of the day, I'm no chemist. I usually premix one-quarter of the amount of neem oil into the neem oil, so I only have to add water. So my question then is, are you guys aware that something like this exists, and if yes, what is the reasoning behind not using it? Is it about cost-effectiveness, availability, or side-effects? It seems pretty weird to me that it never gets mentioned anywhere, so I assume that I missed something critical. Anyways, love your videos!

My Neem oil that I ordered from you arrived and I’m very happy. I can tell a huge difference between the product you sale and “big box” Neem. It has even repelled the Japanese beetles on my beans!

[@GardensGuitars]

Good video update, Gary, interesting discussion about the cold pressed versus the alcohol extracts (hydrophobic). I've always been a big fan of neem, especially for controlling fungal diseases on perennials and other high value crops. Neem is so expensive though, especially the cold-pressed stuff. Neem is also a broad spectrum insect growth regulator (slows them down, not technically an insecticide), so neem can have some non-target effects on other insects including beneficials like predators. If your only problem is caterpillar/moth/butterfly, organic BT is more effective and specific to leps and won't bother any beneficials. Like neem, BT is very expensive too. I usually just let my brassicas get some pillar damage in the summer, the new growth that emerges in fall and winter is always healthy and clean because the temps are too low for pillars come fall. Brassicas have this cool ability to kind of go into dormancy during the summer heat... they can get destroyed by caterpillars, lose all their leaves, look like dead stumps for a few months, and then put out lots of new healthy growth come early winter. I put wooden stakes all over the garden to attract wasps, which then destroy most of the pillars. Your gardens look lovely, thanks for sharing your tips, happy gardening and cheers

Joanie S I sprayed a mixture of Neem oil, peppermint oil and rosemary oil, using the lesser amount of Neem on my cucumbers. I sprayed in the evening, however it was still hot, about 90 degrees, not in direct sun. I also did a test spray 48 hours prior, leaves looked ok. The morning after I sprayed I noticed little light brown spots on some of the leaves, I think they were burn spots. I had heard that as long as Neem oil sprays and other oil sprays dried for three hours on leaves, the residue wouldn’t be left to burn the leaves. I think I learned a valuable lesson, and I’m just thankful my spraying didn’t do more damage!

Thanks for putting out this helpful content. About eight years ago you made a video treating cabbage worm with BT. Now it seems you are mainly using cold pressed neem oil. Is there a reason for the switch?

They both work. I found the neem to have a better general use in addition. It can help with smothering soft bodied insects as its an oil and in stopping fungus. But Bt works.

Thanks for the Info. Still, there are plenty of places, or even countries where people don't understand/know what is cold pressed Neem oil & how does it differ from the regular neem oil. The people using those so called regular neem oil & then complaining it's not effective at all. No offense, but Yes, this is where education matters. Anyway, I used baking soda & epsom salt together sometimes, and it didn't harm the plant. Now, I wonder if Epsom salt could be used with neem oil mixture , provided you may not get suitable alternative day to spray them separately.

Gary I bought a (ingredients on label)80% cold pressed and unrefined Neem Oil(Azadirachtin Indica),20% Emulsifier,UV Stabilizer &Anti-oxidant. I presume the 80% oil is 100% oil if that makes sense other 20% is emulsifier. What’s your thoughts.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I havent used it but 80% unrefined should work.

The bugs have been eating the leaves off of a lot of the plants and I would like to control them with Neem. You didn't say whether it needs to be applied again after rain or watering (I asked this already but no answer). Would it be OK to mix the Neem in the watering can instead of spraying it so I can douse them with it and still get water to them?

[@Momma_Tomma]

He actually said it quite a few times. 😉 7-14 days reapplying, or after it rains......

[@SidecarBob]

@@Momma_Tomma 2 years later I long ago figured that out but it doesn't seem to stop the bugs we have. no matter what we do.

How effective is the "water soluble" Neem oil?

I'm confused about when to use the Neem Oil. Do I wait until the temperature for the day is below 90 degrees? Or do I wait until the weekly average temperature is below 90 degrees? My area is going through a heat wave right now and the average temp has been 90 degrees for the past 2 weeks. I've noticed some invasive insects on my plants but, I'm afraid to use the neem because the daily temps have been so high.

Has anyone used neem oil spray on other plants like cucs and tomatoes. My castle soap has peppermint in it which I purchased from Costco.

[@joanies6778]

I have been using it on all my plants! My floral plants like sunflower and other large leaf types have been getting eaten, so I use it on everything I want to save. Having said that, I stay away from blossoms because I don't know if it will harm the pollinators. Actually, I skipped several tomato plants this morning because it had a lot of blossoms, but I didn't see any insect problems there, either. The ones with no blossoms got sprayed. Sunflowers only get below the blooms.

eccentricoldcow no I have clematis on the other side of fence I grown my tomatoes. I spray regularly with neem oil. I spray the clematis all the time not paying attention and they are doing great.

My Japanese beetles seem to laugh at neem oil.

[@joanies6778]

Wonder if Diatomaceous earth might work?

[@jonstevens7269]

Im not seeing any results on these Beetles either. I do snip/discard the chewed leaves because I believe they drop scents on leafs when mating. Others are attracted later. I just figured this out on Kiwis -- they dont chew on those hardly at all, but one in particular was getting daily damage. I snipped those chewed leaves and no more Beetles showed up. Im currently shaking Beetles into a soapy solution bucket. Prevent them from going into the grass and dropping eggs. Not sure if this will make a difference but I have about 30 in the Open Swim bucket so far.

Why don't you use BT? I believe it's safe and considered organic for cruciferous vegetables. Also...I bought 100% cold pressed Neem oil a couple years ago from another source and I noticed it's a lighter color than the Neem oil you sell. Does this mean my oil does not contain the part that stops the pest from eating? Thanks! I learn a lot from you.
