If there is any post you gardeners read today, it should be about the benefits of treating your garden with NEEM OIL!
Some benefits are as follows:
Neem oil cannot be absorbed by garden plants or vegetables. No, it will not make your veggies taste yucky.
Its does not target bugs that don't chew on the leaves so butterflys and bees are safe!
Organic, natural and NO PESTICIDES.
It can be used for a myriad of bugs and pretty much keeps Aphids, Japanese beetles, Caterpillars, Mites and other leaf eating bugs at bay.
I use the brand below in the photo. Cant say much for smell because basically it smells like fermented or rotten peanut oil but it works and I have experienced no problems with it. My garden is the most beautiful it has ever been this year and I have Neem oil to thank for it.
Keep in mind Neem is a bit expensive but it you don't mind paying between 12-15 bucks for a bottle then you should be good. I bought one at the end of June and have used it about 5 times so far. I was excited to share this because it has made a world of difference in keeping those darn Japanese Beetles off my hard planted work.
