Insecticide soap/neem oil

[tctenten]

Quick newbie question. Do you spray insecticide soap or neem oil as a preventive measure, or do you only spray after you have seen signs of the enemies?

Using either as a preventative is not a bad idea, since they're non-toxic, and make an effectve barrier against the bugs you wanna get rid of without affecting the pollenators.

Great, thank you.

There are only two or so sources of good neem as well so remember that. The store bought stuff is not good neem.
It must come from India and a reputable seller at that. Also it must be sprayed at dusk as sunlight lessens it's effectiveness.
