Why should the Neem Oil for the Garden be mixed with dish detergent?
Mixing Neem oil with an environmentally friendly dishwashing detergent is an import step to using Neem oil for the garden as it helps to emulsify the Neem oil. The emulsification helps to ensure that the Neem oil is more evenly applied when it is sprayed on the plants. It is very important to not apply the Neem oil in full sunlight and to use a small amount per application to not burn or fry your plants with the oil. Some house plants do not respond well to Neem oil applied t the leaves. It is a good idea to do a test run on a few leaves, to make sure that the plant responds well to Neem oil. You can also apply the Neem oil mixture to the soil surrounding the plant to help protect and feed the soil and preserve the integrity of the plant.
