Excellent and informative post. I never heard of neem or sal suds to be honest and I've been gardening for decades. I use products from gardens alive site which is supposedly all natural and have good success with most things on there. Do you get flea beetles down there? They are extremely bad on eggplant and arugula and the only thing that sort of works for me is diatomaceous earth but as soon as it gets wet it loses its effectiveness. Just wondering if neem and sal would help with them.

I've never liked egg plant so I don't know, but neem and sal suds is a great natural way to fight insects in your garden.
I already ordered from amazon. I use 32 oz sprayers so I'll have to cut back on the amounts. Is there much danger of using too much when mixing?
Not really. Some people use one tablespoon of each for a gallon but I have always used 2.
It gets hard to measure when you get under a tablespoon. I don't mind using a little more than I need as long as it doesn't damage my plants which I doubt it will. Since I'm using a 32 oz sprayer I'll just use a little under a tablespoon of each. I'll let you know how it works for me. Thanks again.
Just make sure you apply in the morning or evening. Applying in direct sun can hurt.
OK thanks
Mix it in a gallon jug and fill your sprayer from that....
Now there's an excellent common sense Idea. I must be brain dead. Thanks.
