Neem Oil: Details

What is it?

Neem oil has a dual purpose in a vegetable garden as both a pesticide and a fungicide. Neem oil repels and kills many harmful insects and mites, making it a worthy addition to your arsenal against bugs.

When & How to use

Use only when bugs or fungus are present.

Add 5 mL or 1 teaspoon per litre of warm water mixed with a drop or two of dishwashing liquid.

Use the mixture within 24 to 48hrs for best results.

Spray lightly across infected plants once per day until bugs & fungicide are no longer present.

Spraying can be repeated at 2 day intervals to stop pests returning.

Always thoroughly rinse treated plants prior to consumption.

If the mixture hardens: It is normal for this natural oil to harden over time. Just place the jar into hot water, ensuring the water level does not reach the cap. Leave for 5-minutes or until the mixture becomes runny again.

Storage

Always keep product in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
