Mixing neem seed meal in my starting mix eliminated my fungus gnats problem. I used 1 cup per gallon. However I had top dressed with neem seed meal before and although it eliminated the gnats it was very prone to mold. Save the oil and use the meal. It's cheap and a good organic fertilizer with the benefits of the extract.
Another great video Gary i learn something new from you all the time. Starting my first container garden this year and yes im late and the weather just broke to over 50 degrees daily. I got my cold pressed neem oil but now i see something new with neem cake and buying right away from ebay. Ill be starting my first seedlings without the neem cake but i will introduce the oil into the soil just as you prescribed. I have two 10 gallon aquariums im using for the seedlings and foiling them in for reflective properties. I have to say your channel is the best for affordable upstart gardeners like myself. Ill be completely ready next year and have two fairly cheap greenhouses for the fall and introduction of my seedlings outside when they geminate and have some growth. You give such great detail and dont waste any of your words. Just joined your fb group a week ago. Thanks for what you do for others! Your a blessing!
Thanks for following and joining the FB group. Sounds like you are doing well and learning. Perfect! Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com
I used neem oil in with my starting mix, then I put fine spagnum moss on top of seeds instead of soil. Great sprout rate so far, I even got the blue poppy seeds to sprout and grow. Started tomatoes,several varieties, mustards, kales, lettuces, cabbages,swiss chards, will start more tender plants next week.
Hi Gary. I am spraying Neem oil solution on my tomato and egg plant seedings, it's very effective in controlling pest n diseases. As you said I will this recipe on my seed starter mix. Thanks for sharing a nice video. Peace be with you.
Here at the place we live there are lots and lots of huge Neem Trees. People prepare NSKS (Neem Seed Kernel Solution) at home and spray on field/Vegetable crops as an alternative to Chemical sprays. It works great.
Hi Gary, I've been using cold pressed Neem oil for a couple of years now. With this new info, I can put it in my starting mix, and I'm excited about that. Also excited to hear you're not using soap in your spray anymore. I'm going to try cutting it out this year. Thanks for the great video.

I ordered it a 50 pound bag. Ill be taking it to my community garden. I searched a while for it. I think Amazon. Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed and Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/
do you still use this method or still recommend using the neem cake in the starter soil? i also was reading that the neem cake tea can be used against fleas and ticks on your pets, and farm animals. and by spreading the strained out neem cake you can spread that over your yard to control pests there .. i would also think that by putting the leftover slidge from the tea could be put into the compost pile and should work from there .. i dont know .. sure gives alot for thought
I bought "neem oil extract" online that says dilute to 2 tbsp per gallon. Would you say the proportions are the same as regular neem oil? Your methods have really helped me combat fungus knats so far with cinnamon and Diat earth. Thanks!
So for water sprays I use 1 or 2 tablespoons for spraying plants outdoor etc. For the starting mix, it is a gallon of mix but I use 2 teaspoons and it seems to be working well. I wanted a lower concentration. -- Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com
thanks for the reply! so do you think neem oil and neem oil "extract" are essentially the same thing/concentration? i purchased it because it was cheaper on amazon
The extracts are usually hydrophobic extracts and they take out all good stuff. I will say hydrophobic extract of neem. You want 100% cold pressed neem oil with all the components. That is why I started selling it, people where getting mislead. Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed and Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/
I just order the kit and the 12oz nitrogen. Let see how it'll work, last year my Genovese basil die on me because of mold, I left the plant in the flower pot do you think I can revive it?
Perfect. Thanks. You cant revive it if the plant died. Sorry. You can use the kit as I showed. You can also just put oil in the mix. It gives you some options.
Not that I am aware of. Microbes multiply at an insane rate. My blog The Rusted Garden Journal is now getting some TLC. Ill we posting new garden articles in there several times a week. DIY recipes is the next series. Cheers!

hi Gary I love your vidios never used been oil I know I had a been plant in my back yard and my mom used it as a source of medicine to our stomach ache but never new about to use for the plants is it because it's too bitter
great video. i use alot of your advice.I'm a first time gardener. i crushed up some neem cake pellets to dress the top of soil.i also sprayed it.problem with the neem on top of soil it grew mold spore looking things overnight. i stirred it up into soil.should i do anything else. all the bugs r gone though.
The neem kernals are organic matter too, so they will mold. That's is soil biology breaking it down. No worries on that mold and fungus.

The mold is perfectly fine. Not all fungus or bacteria is bad in biology. Organics have a tendency to do this. It simply means your soil is living which is actually super beneficial. Search for living soil and soil food web if you are skeptical.
Hi Gary, I like the idea of this with it going on / in the soil rather than spraying it on the plant, I've had some poor results spraying my strawberries with neem oil before it really knocked them back. It could be that strawberries are intolerant of the oil residue on the leaves not sure other plants appeared fine with it, have you heard of this happening before ?.
Its possible. I havent noticed it but different plants do react differently to different spray dosages You can find items I use or discuss in videos, by checking out my Amazon Storefront for fertilizer, pest management, shade cloth, seed starting supplies, books and more! at www.amazon.com/shop/garypilarchiktherustedgarden As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualified purchases.

Thank you for you effort to help others garden. Have you made that neem, seed start mix with worm castings too? if yes then how much casting to 1 gallon of seed mix?
Thanks. I enjoy it. A gallon is what 4 quarts? 1/2 cup. I use 1 cup of casting to 6-8 quarts of starting mix generally. Please visit The Rusted Garden Homestead Seed & Garden Shop at www.therustedgarden.com for all your seed starting supplies, seeds, oils, harvest bags, journals and more. THANKS!
I used this on my organic soil mix because of gnats and it got rid of them, I dried the soil up with the neem added into it and I noticed a blanket of mould on the top layer, which I think also killed the gnat larvae and possibly the adults, I love the stuff for that reason alone
Hi Gary, I love your videos and have been watching for years! I've had experience with neem and the problem is that its a little too "organic" and as such not very effective. Check out Azamax, its a concentrated form of neem so its just as natural compared to other chemical pesticides but its significantly more concentrated and in turn more effective.
Azamax is where they concentrate the azadirachtin. The neem has been effective for me but what did you notice pest or disease wise that the Azamax addressed cold pressed neem didn't. Just curious.
I think any pest will develop a tolerance to any treatment, so giving a more concentrated form will help prevent a tolerance, especially with a systemic approach. I don't know if neem alone could saturate the plant systemically enough to ward off pests. In theory, after treatment the plant contains enough azadirachtin that when a pest (on the leaves or in the roots) tries to munch on your plants, they will immediately stop or perish, thus a population never develops. Its a fine line with edible plants though, especially ones with shorter life cycles to begin with (lettuce for example) because you probably don't want to eat azadirachtin in high concentrations.

I'm wondering Gary if you can just freeze the starter soil in a deep freeze for 4 or 5 days and then before you use it make sure it is thawed at room temp?
They eggs are impressive. I think they can deal with freeze. I was using boiling water and that helped. But because I take the flats in and outdoors, I think they hitch a ride back in, so I am going with this set up. Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed and Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/

I have my cabbage and peas in my garden already and their sprouting. Can I use the neem oil now on them, or should I wait. To keep them safe I have a floating row cover over them.
I got a question about neem cake. Is it suitable to be used in indoor potted plants that are not exposed to rainfall. It has nitrification inhibitor in it to slow down the conversion of ammonia to nitrate. Does that mean it will reduce the amount of nitrogen available to the potted plant? Thank you.
I could be used. I dont know if it inhibits nitrogen but it might use some as it decays itself, I would experiment if you arent sure.

Do the gnats come from the soil mixture? I saw something about freezing the soil first to kills the gnat eggs...I also use cinnamon to prevent and get rid of mold on seedling soil.
Yep. I use boiling water to prep my starting mixes. Cold freezing is suppose to help. But I find any organic product we by has gnat eggs. And I move my flats in and out in the sun so I am sure gnats hitch ride back in. My goal is to reduce pests and diseases. Eradicating would be nice but just not realistic. Cinnamon is good to use. Please check out my seed shop at www.therustedgarden.com
I started onion seeds this year for the first time and got mold all over the soil. Sprinkled powdered cinnamon over the soil and it eliminated ALL of the mold within a couple of days. Organic magic!

Do you have a good source for neem cake. I’ve found and ordered some from Amazon but am considering using it in my raised beds for all the reasons you listed.

mike peres I removed soil from fungus gnats and baked it in my oven for (40)" for (40) minutes. Then I replanted into straight compost. One of Gary's other reminded me of his Neem so now that he reminded us I spray weekly with his Neem. I mixed a lot of that baked Jiffy Mix into my compost bin.

What I cant speak to is if it absorbs it. My understanding is neem drenches and neem cake sit in the soil and protect that way but not as an absorb systemic. The fungus gnats lay eggs in the soil. The oil effects development. The larva hatch and eat the roots that have neem oil on them, they die.

Gary, thankyou for the video, I tried basically the same technique and so far so good with my seedlings, I am pleased with the results.
Oh really. What are you trying? Cool.
I used neem oil in with my starting mix, then I put fine spagnum moss on top of seeds instead of soil. Great sprout rate so far, I even got the blue poppy seeds to sprout and grow. Started tomatoes,several varieties, mustards, kales, lettuces, cabbages,swiss chards, will start more tender plants next week.
Great tip, Gary, I never thought of the NPK value, but makes sense.
Blessings.
Ill be using neem cake in my community gardens.
Hi Gary. I am spraying Neem oil solution on my tomato and egg plant seedings, it's very effective in controlling pest n diseases. As you said I will this recipe on my seed starter mix. Thanks for sharing a nice video. Peace be with you.
Good luck. I really like neem.
Here at the place we live there are lots and lots of huge Neem Trees. People prepare NSKS (Neem Seed Kernel Solution) at home and spray on field/Vegetable crops as an alternative to Chemical sprays. It works great.
Hi Gary, I've been using cold pressed Neem oil for a couple of years now. With this new info, I can put it in my starting mix, and I'm excited about that. Also excited to hear you're not using soap in your spray anymore. I'm going to try cutting it out this year. Thanks for the great video.
Nice video :) informative . Am from india, we use neem here for variety of applications.
Awesome! Thanks for your recipe, I will use it on my seedlings.
Good luck

Hi Gary, Great video as usual and a great idea...will try the neem oil as well. Wondering where you got that neat spray bottle that has the spray directed downwards? thanks...db
Just check in Amazon, 360 degrees spray bottle
India has been using this in ages. Neem is a medicine used for centuries in India for human as well. From teeth, hair to skin Indians are using in their Ayurvedic medicine.
Yep. It's well tested.

Good morning Gary. Where did you get the neem cake? Thanks. Best wishes Bob.
I ordered it a 50 pound bag. Ill be taking it to my community garden. I searched a while for it. I think Amazon.
Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed and Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/
do you still use this method or still recommend using the neem cake in the starter soil? i also was reading that the neem cake tea can be used against fleas and ticks on your pets, and farm animals. and by spreading the strained out neem cake you can spread that over your yard to control pests there .. i would also think that by putting the leftover slidge from the tea could be put into the compost pile and should work from there .. i dont know .. sure gives alot for thought
enjoyed your video
I bought "neem oil extract" online that says dilute to 2 tbsp per gallon. Would you say the proportions are the same as regular neem oil? Your methods have really helped me combat fungus knats so far with cinnamon and Diat earth. Thanks!
Brian McMains I'd like to know this also
So for water sprays I use 1 or 2 tablespoons for spraying plants outdoor etc. For the starting mix, it is a gallon of mix but I use 2 teaspoons and it seems to be working well. I wanted a lower concentration. -- Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com
thanks for the reply! so do you think neem oil and neem oil "extract" are essentially the same thing/concentration? i purchased it because it was cheaper on amazon
The extracts are usually hydrophobic extracts and they take out all good stuff. I will say hydrophobic extract of neem. You want 100% cold pressed neem oil with all the components. That is why I started selling it, people where getting mislead.
Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed and Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/
When the tops of the starting mix dry, I fill the bottom. The tops dry first.
Have you had any problems with mold when using the neem cake?
Thanks again for a great, informative video. Never even heard of neem cake before. Are you selling it in your store?
Gary Pilarchik I have checked it out when you first started it, but didn't see the neem cake. I will go back and look again.
I just order the kit and the 12oz nitrogen. Let see how it'll work, last year my Genovese basil die on me because of mold, I left the plant in the flower pot do you think I can revive it?
Perfect. Thanks. You cant revive it if the plant died. Sorry. You can use the kit as I showed. You can also just put oil in the mix. It gives you some options.
Thank you for this information..does this kill off any of the "good" biodiversity already in the soil?
Not that I am aware of. Microbes multiply at an insane rate.
My blog The Rusted Garden Journal is now getting some TLC. Ill we posting new garden articles in there several times a week. DIY recipes is the next series. Cheers!
The dish soap is important as it helps the neem stick i the leaves of the plant

hi Gary I love your vidios never used been oil I know I had a been plant in my back yard and my mom used it as a source of medicine to our stomach ache but never new about to use for the plants is it because it's too bitter
Did you have a large neem tree?
Thump up!
Thanks. I really like this mix.

great video. i use alot of your advice.I'm a first time gardener. i crushed up some neem cake pellets to dress the top of soil.i also sprayed it.problem with the neem on top of soil it grew mold spore looking things overnight. i stirred it up into soil.should i do anything else. all the bugs r gone though.
The neem kernals are organic matter too, so they will mold. That's is soil biology breaking it down. No worries on that mold and fungus.

The mold is perfectly fine. Not all fungus or bacteria is bad in biology. Organics have a tendency to do this. It simply means your soil is living which is actually super beneficial. Search for living soil and soil food web if you are skeptical.
Hi Gary,
I like the idea of this with it going on / in the soil rather than spraying it on the plant, I've had some poor results spraying my strawberries with neem oil before it really knocked them
back. It could be that strawberries are intolerant of the oil residue on the leaves not sure other plants appeared fine with it, have you heard of this happening before ?.
Its possible. I havent noticed it but different plants do react differently to different spray dosages

Thank you for you effort to help others garden. Have you made that neem, seed start mix with worm castings too? if yes then how much casting to 1 gallon of seed mix?
Thanks. I enjoy it. A gallon is what 4 quarts? 1/2 cup. I use 1 cup of casting to 6-8 quarts of starting mix generally.

Where did you buy the neem cake?
I used this on my organic soil mix because of gnats and it got rid of them, I dried the soil up with the neem added into it and I noticed a blanket of mould on the top layer, which I think also killed the gnat larvae and possibly the adults, I love the stuff for that reason alone
Cool
Hi Gary, I love your videos and have been watching for years! I've had experience with neem and the problem is that its a little too "organic" and as such not very effective. Check out Azamax, its a concentrated form of neem so its just as natural compared to other chemical pesticides but its significantly more concentrated and in turn more effective.
Also works great as a root drench as a preventative measure against aphids because they no longer want to eat the roots or nectar.
Azamax is where they concentrate the azadirachtin. The neem has been effective for me but what did you notice pest or disease wise that the Azamax addressed cold pressed neem didn't. Just curious.
I think any pest will develop a tolerance to any treatment, so giving a more concentrated form will help prevent a tolerance, especially with a systemic approach. I don't know if neem alone could saturate the plant systemically enough to ward off pests. In theory, after treatment the plant contains enough azadirachtin that when a pest (on the leaves or in the roots) tries to munch on your plants, they will immediately stop or perish, thus a population never develops. Its a fine line with edible plants though, especially ones with shorter life cycles to begin with (lettuce for example) because you probably don't want to eat azadirachtin in high concentrations.
@@seanclimb will the drench soak up the plant and kill white flies under the leafs
Hey Gary, great video! Can we follow the same process in the final containers when transplanting the plant?
I will be doing that in some capacity.

Thank you. I live in Malaysia and this is very useful to keep the soil clean. Can neem oil or cake be added to existing potted plants please
It can for sure
there is asiangarden2table is base in Florida may be that help
I'm wondering Gary if you can just freeze the starter soil in a deep freeze for 4 or 5 days and then before you use it make sure it is thawed at room temp?
They eggs are impressive. I think they can deal with freeze. I was using boiling water and that helped. But because I take the flats in and outdoors, I think they hitch a ride back in, so I am going with this set up.

I have my cabbage and peas in my garden already and their sprouting. Can I use the neem oil now on them, or should I wait. To keep them safe I have a floating row cover over them.
You can wait till they are more leafy and moths are starting to show.
I got a question about neem cake. Is it suitable to be used in indoor potted plants that are not exposed to rainfall. It has nitrification inhibitor in it to slow down the conversion of ammonia to nitrate. Does that mean it will reduce the amount of nitrogen available to the potted plant? Thank you.
I could be used. I dont know if it inhibits nitrogen but it might use some as it decays itself, I would experiment if you arent sure.

Do the gnats come from the soil mixture? I saw something about freezing the soil first to kills the gnat eggs...I also use cinnamon to prevent and get rid of mold on seedling soil.
Yep. I use boiling water to prep my starting mixes. Cold freezing is suppose to help. But I find any organic product we by has gnat eggs. And I move my flats in and out in the sun so I am sure gnats hitch ride back in. My goal is to reduce pests and diseases. Eradicating would be nice but just not realistic. Cinnamon is good to use.

Okay, I saw the oil which I have purchased from you before and really like it but I did not see the cake. I will look again. I have been known to be blind.
i bought organic neem cake powder online and mixed it in water and put a teaspoon on top of the soils on each on my plants. Within a week all my plant soil was moldy!!! The gnats are still there and some other bugs appeared !!
2017, are you still using the neem products?
I use neem oil outdoors and on my seed starts. I dont use the cake. For a while the cake got hard to find and it just fell off my radar.

Have you ever tried growing mushrooms?
I did but had minimal success.
HMMMmmmmm, by making the neem soil for your starter plants does it become like a systemic preventative in your plants?
What I cant speak to is if it absorbs it. My understanding is neem drenches and neem cake sit in the soil and protect that way but not as an absorb systemic. The fungus gnats lay eggs in the soil. The oil effects development. The larva hatch and eat the roots that have neem oil on them, they die.

I add the Neem directly into the potting mix instead of putting it in water first. It's easier to stir it in well that way.

What I found funny about neem cake is that it will get moldy once watered.
The organic products do that. Like bone and blood meals. Feather meal. I have been watching to see if the cake does that. Maybe with the addition of neem oil it is reducing the mold. So far so good. --Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com
