Neem Oil

[Guest guest]

Hello. I have just recently purchased some neem oil. Does anyone know

how to use this? Do you use it full strength or do you mix with water

and a bit of soap so it mixes? What is the ratio in the mix? Thank

you for your help. Gloria

Lynn I have had great results with orange guard. Would like to figure a way to

make my own. Hoping the grapefruit peppermint enzyme will be close.

I have this spring bug arsenal waiting for the winters end. I have the enzyme

to spray and watch the outside creatures, also the fels naptha, perhaps another

great nontoxic alternative, outside even the beer and tobacco juice will be

added.

Spring and Fall Lawn Tonic

*1 cup of fels soap solution 1 flat beer, 4 ounces of liquid dish soap,

household ammonia and a 20 gallon hose-end sprayer. (*Fels soap solution is made

by shaving 1/2 bar of Fels Naptha Soap into a quart of very hot water to

dissolve. Add 4 ounces of liquid dish soap as an emulsifier. You can store the

solution until needed. Shake well before use.) Mix the 1 cup Fels solution, 1

can of beer in the sprayer. Fill the remainder of sprayer with ammonia. For

spring and fall garden spraying, add 2 oz of molasses.

Spray aphids with 3 tablespoons grated Fels Naptha Soap dissolved in 1 gallon of

hot water. Mix well and let cool. Spray as needed.

Insect Control: Prepare Fels Naptha Solution first. (Solution - shave 1 inch of

Fels Naptha bar in a nylon stocking and place it into a gallon of boiling water

along with 4 oz. liquid dish soap(Ivory). Store as needed and shake well before

use. It will have a gel-like consistency.) Mix 1 cup of Fels Naptha Solution

with 1 cup antiseptic mouthwash (mint flavored if nematodes are a problem) and 1

cup chewing tobacco juice. Spray with a 20-gal hose-end sprayer with a golf ball

in it to keep mixture mixed. Follow-up with an application of Dursban or

inon, if needed.

For Black-spot fungus on roses: Make the Fels Naptha Solution by shaving 1 inch

of Fels Naptha bar into a nylon stocking and placing it into a gallon of boiling

water along with 4 ounce of liquid dish soap (Ivory). This will keep nicely and

you can use it as needed. It will have a gel-like consistency so mix well before

using. For the black-spot fungus, mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 1 tablespoon

of vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of Fels naptha solution and 1 gallon of water.

Spray as needed.

IMPORTANT***** In recent years soap manufacturers have added degreasers and

antibacterial ingredients to their products. These are VERY harmful to your

plants and most likely will burn or kill them. When a home gardening technique

calls for liquid dish soap be very careful that you use only Ivory or Fels

Naptha Solution. You can also use the original liquid lemon type detergent which

has no additives, just be careful that it does not contain a degreaser or is

antibacterial.

Lynn Lots of foods have sulfur, fact is processing has taken alot of sulfur from

our food naturally occurring.

MSM comes from the ocean and is a prime source of bio-available sulfur. This

type of sulfur is lost from our food because of storage, processing, drying,

cooking and preserving. MSM is an important food (not a drug or medicine) and

carries on many roles in the body, including the stimulation of the growth of

healthy skin, hair and nails.

According to information from the...

Material Safety Data Sheet (the MSDS ), Fels-Naphtha contains...

Chemical CAS No / Unique ID Percent

Stoddard solvent 008052-41-3

Fatty acids, C8-C18 and C18-unsaturated, sodium salts 067701-10-4

Hydrocarbons, terpene processing by-products Terpene processing by-products

068956-56-9

It's now owned by Dial Corporation, and you should be able to find more

information on their website. http://www.dialcorp.com/index.cfm?page_id=1 ,

although they seem to treat this product as a poor relation. I know there's an

MSDS available, for example, but couldn't get to it on Dial's MSDS link.

Think it helped me get rid of them for 2 months, but I stopped and they

returned. I was essentially coating myself with neem oil in the shower before

bed every night. Would wash again in the morning, but it stays with you after

being on that long. Like many of the effective tactics it took a few weeks of

doing this every day to get results.

The main problem with it is that it is gross to coat oneself because it smells

like peanut butter and garlic mixed together. It's also chunky which is kinda

gross, but tolerable. My problem was that I'm sure I reeked of peanut butter

garlic all day at work. It would be very good for those who are self-employed,

work from home, or otherwise work alone or don't have to be around people all

the time.

I'm now adding it to baths (among other things) and balms and hoping that it

will still be effective in smaller/less concentrated/not as smelly doses.
