Solanum pyracanthum does have a use. Bury the dead leaves and squirrels will learn to stop digging there.

All plants. Closer than that just risks burning if it's a grow light.

Well that's why. Flourescents shouldn't be closer than 18"

Witchcraft makes grapes taste better.

Have you ever actually dealt with broad mites before? Because it takes a lot of neem applied on a strict schedule for long term in order to actually get rid of them. Sulfur dust only needs one application with any future ones being just to make sure. And I wasn't using "literally" incorrectly...

Literally everyone else disagrees with you. It doesn't work very well on them.
