Great information. Thanks for sharing Rob! ♥️👍🏾

[@EssayonsFG]

Glad you think so Lady Cheryl. Thank you so much!

[@wholenewperspective]

Thanks for sharing how to mix these. So many end up killing their plants because of the mixing. Keep repeating the process. Have a blessed day.

[@EssayonsFG]

Thank you so much, Crystal. It hurts to hear gardeners saying they sprayed and all their plants died, because it usually means they sprayed during the heat of the day or they added too much concentrate per gallon of water. Have a blessed Sunday.

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

You always have great information to share Rob, thank you. Hope you and the family have a blessed day and week ahead my friend.

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks Tony. We love sharing what works for us but know everyone gardens and grows differently. Have a blessed Sunday and coming week also.

[@ionahomestead]

Great minds think al8me! Just did my first application of neem oil to cut back on critters in the garden. I also bought a 4gal backpack pump sprayer from Amazon that seems to work well, I’ll be using it more now that it’s a bit easier to apply!

[@EssayonsFG]

Yes indeed, Bill. Definitely need to push back against the pest pressure, especially you, as a market gardener now. Customers like plants as free of insect damage as possible. The backpack sprayers are great too.

Awesome..I bought some out of date fish emulsion that was in a hose sprayer a couple years ago. I'm going to try reusing the bottle. If it doesn't far well I need to buy me one like you have. So much easier . Looks like yours sprays well

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks Tammy. We reuse the bottles too. I have way too many collected over the years. LOL The Chapin sprayers do work well for fertilizers and horticultural sprays.

Lots of really great information ! I have never used Neem oil before but I would try it . I bought some of that fertilizer on sale at Walmart last year for $2 a gallon . I couldn't pass up that deal when it's like $20 something normally . Thanks for sharing and have a great day !

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks Aaric! That was a great deal getting it for $2 a gallon! That should last you quite a while too. Hope you all are having a fantastic weekend!

Great fertilizer for the plants, I also made Fermented Fruit Juice too as foliar.

[@EssayonsFG]

That's great! We do the fermented juices/compost teas also. They work great.

We use 511 regularly. We never thought about mixing Neem oil with it. We will definitely give it a try to control the bugs. We will use it on our fruit trees also. What do you fertilize your blueberry plants with? Thanks for the tip . Have a good week

[@EssayonsFG]

Thank you so much. We try to find any ways to save time we can managing the garden. The blueberries are pretty low maintenance. We spray them every quarter when we do the fruit trees and add compost around them once a year in the Spring. Occasionally we will chop and drop comfrey around them too. Have a wonderful week

[@zaneymay]

How much does it cost for the growing season in your area? Do you spray weekly or monthly?

[@EssayonsFG]

These bottles last us several years as we only add a few tablespoons/capfuls per gallon of water, so maybe a couple dollars per year on average. We start spraying in May and stop around late September, depending on the weather. We try not to spray more than twice per month of the fish fertilizer but may do the neem weekly if we have high pest pressure.

[@EssayonsFG]

Thank you so much

[@chijiokekingsley3189]

You didn't show the ratio that you mixed before spraying

[@EssayonsFG]

The ratios will vary depending on what method you are spraying with. I use an ounce of each per gallon in regular hand held spray pump but double that when using a hose end sprayer for our sized garden. You may need more or less depending on your garden size.

[@zachyweezer]

thanks for the great idea! do you have fungal issues in your garden? if so, does the neem oil help you, or do you use copper fungicide? i live in a very high humidity place, so it's something i have to deal with, unfortunately. also, do you apply the fish fertilizer to the roots as well? thank you.

[@EssayonsFG]

We rarely use copper fungicide but do keep some on hand, just in case we get a problem area. The spray does drip down into the soil so the roots benefit from the neem and fish fertilizer also.

[@EssayonsFG]

Yes. We do this every few weeks during the growing season. It works great for growth and controlling pests like the tomato horn worms and aphids.
