Review on Neem Bliss: All-Natural Neem Seed Meal for Organic Gardening and Soil Amendment - Enhance Your Garden's Health with Neem Cake Meal! (5 lbs) by Brad Russell

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.
