IMO, Cold Pressed Neem or Clarified Neem is probably the best pesticide you can use on any digestible garden product.  After using both for years now, can say without a doubt, Cold Pressed Neem Oil works long after the spray with repellent type properties for a much longer time period than...

Coffee grinds are good, but a slow release nitrogen source.   Have heard aged Urine contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. some say it must be mixed/aged with a mulch/wood/pine fines mix. If using it straight, must dilute it a lot, at least 10parts water to 1 part piss.   I mean this is...

Yes under air.   I mix my cold pressed inside in laundry room sink because its something thats not as simple as pour it in and shake like the Clarified Neem or ferts, etc.    I spend some time mixing (in the past)using almost hot water as it seems to do the best job. Was wondering if heat might...

Stored in a small open top box in the same Bliss bottle it comes in, over the sink in my laundry room with its mixing Pyrex and a 1 tbs measure along side a bottle of Dr Boners soap, bottle of water wetter8,  and bottle of natural wet. My AG Southern clarified neem is stored in my patio, in a...

I'll take your word for it, and won't/haven't give FL sun a chance at being unforgiving. Lately been spraying right after the sun goes down but before its dark as don't like using flash lights or flood lights. Seems to work fine with the small amount of light at dusk.   What I've noticed is when...

No, Southern AG does not work better, never said that. Said the Cold pressed neem oil is difficult to mix and keep in suspension and spray with good flow, spread, and have good 'sticking' properties instead of dripping right off the leafs. Its a fine balance to find the correct adjutants package...

I had the same question so called AG Southern and actually got a Chemical Engineer on the phone. He explained to me the 30% was adjutants and refereed me to the article I linked above. He could not give me any details of the exact composition of the adjutants package AG Southern use as its a...

Did my whole garden with my hybrid 'mix'. Put the zap back in clarified...   1 tbs cold pressed Bliss neem oil / 3 tbs AG Southern clarified Neem oil to 1 gallon warm water. Mixed up perfectly total emulsification of the extra tbs cold pressed.   Plants seem to react just like the AG Southern...

   coco8 wet, e z wet, natural wet.   Bliss Cold Pressed organic Neem Oil

Been using Southern AG clarified neem oil occasionally when not using cold pressed.     It has a great engineered adjuvant package that completely emulsifies the neem oil and sports spreader stickers, water wetters, surfacents, emulsifiers, all great adjuvacants/additives, and ph is perfect. It...

Interesting article, not sure I can fully understand it...   https://extension.uga.edu/publications/detail.html?number=B1319&title=Using%20Surfactants,%20Wetting%20Agents,%20and%20Adjuvants%20in%20the%20Greenhouse   Figure 4. Horticultural oil / dishwashing liquid damage to pansies.  ...

Thanks for the reply Siv, much appreciate your expertise...   Ya that ratio, 1tbs/1tsp is what I used all last year. It seemed to work good. What i found after spraying when cleaning out the sprayer, were dime size globules of white-ish non emulsified oil, not a lot but 6-8 globules were always...

What ratio are you guys using for your mix.?   I've been using 1tbs (1/2oz) cold pressed neem oil and 1.5tsp(1/4oz) soap (Dr Boners), per gal water.   Just got some new cold pressed neem oil and on its bottle the ratio for folair spray is, 2 tbs(1oz) cold pressed neem oil & 2 tsp(1/3oz) soap...

I can't ever get this rather common ( annuum ) Jala at any local grocery stores. They pick them way before they're ripe enough for me...    

Seems like a logical step,,,yes..     "going to mix some black kow and crab meal to see if that helps"  is that not a guess.   You are right to come here and ask, just try and consider the opinions here from some very experienced knowledgeable pepper growers...even if they aren't what you want...

Hmm, got to try that. Would the added reflected light under the leafs from the foil cause any issues, or maybe more light there would cause faster growth..?

Here is an old reply I made to same question....   Same question i asked years ago... Growing peppers taught me a new level of patience... lol   Just make sure they get as much direct sun as possible and all growing parameters are just right. They will ripen eventually.   Once they stop getting...

And what have you tried so far...?   White fly are easy to control as long as you're on it fast.   Be very careful, have to catch it fast before it becomes an infestation as white fly bring in mites/aphids on their legs. You very possible have them also now if whitefly has been an on going...

Don't misunderstand me, wasn't trying to put words in your mouth, I actually agree with you from my anecdotal experience.   Sorry, should have asked better. Whats the correct answer to this topic..?
