Neem Bliss (5lbs) - Neem Meal for Plants - Neem Cake Organic Fertilizer

Got my bugs repelled. Cheap and great for soil addition.

I'm using this to make a watering 'tea' to overwinter my pepper plants and so far not a sign of any gnats! It does smell a bit off to me but it isn't terrible. Just follow the advice of others here and on YT and it works. Last year, all of the yellow sticky traps were collecting gnats but not this year. Very happy with it so far despite the off smell of the tea. Just do not let the solids sit on top of soil or it will begin to get fuzzy. Just to scrape them off if you do and replace with a bit of fresh sterilized dry soil then count down the days until next spring!

Using neem meal as a plant immune-system booster with visible results on our organic farm in the disease- and pest-prone Deep South usa. This seller is great, with excellent price and quick shipping. Will definitely purchase again. We have been using the neem meal mostly by soaking it in water for up to 48 hours, then applying at the roots. The liquid can also be strained and sprayed, but be aware that neem can kill bees, so if your plants are in flower, only spray neem at dusk because it needs 3 hours before bees are safe. We have also used neem oil as a spray, but I'm liking the neem meal a lot for its systemic effects on plants. We have now planted our fall greens by incorporating a light sprinkling of the neem meal into the seed trench or over the whole bed for broadcast seed. There are very few sources of information for growing organically in the deep south, so we've been experimenting a lot. Here's what happened this summer: Our first planting, I only learned about neem meal after everything was already half grown and the tomatoes, cucumbers, and squash all had spotted, wilting leaves that started at the base and moved upwards. The neem meal slowed this down but did not stop it. Our second planting, we used the neem meal fermented liquid from the beginning, starting at seed planting, every few days, and the cucumbers and tomatoes have recovered from their early signs of the same disease symptoms and are growing strong and beautiful. So what I learned is that using the neem from the beginning of planting made the huge difference. We then put the neem meal into the soil when we recently planted the fall greens. Experimentation shows enormous promise-- I just wish we could grow the neem ourselves but that requires zone 10.

Well packaged product. Have used this will planting new plants both in potted and raised beds. But cant really say if this is impactful as pests do come and have been treating them. So not sure if this is a value add for home gardening.

I used this at work and after I did this the department stunk (like fertilizer). However it did kill the gnats and so my advice is to water them on a Friday before leaving the office for the weekend.

One of four components I mix into purchased seed starting (Berger BM2) and general-purpose (Berger AP191) mixes.

it didn't work against gnats, which was the reason i purchased it. everyone said it would work against gnats. I had to set my mini garden outside to get rid of them (and the fly catchers i hung helped as well). as a natural fertilizer, no clue if it's helpful. So, to be fair, I'm giving this review 3 stars in case it really does work as a fertilizer. The sun is so horrific these days, and my veggies did not do that well, I can't determine if this product helped fertilize or not. I have a new plan that I hope works against the fire ball in the sky.

I only top dress plants with the neem pellets as a guard against insects.
