Neem Oil Application Question

[Tea Party]

On the Einstein Oil label it seems to imply that once mixed with water for spray application the whole mixture should be used. This seems ridiculous since such a small amount is needed, and if it is sprayed every 2-5 days...well you see my point. Very tedious and expensive even mixing a small mist bottle every few days and then throwing it out in order to mix a fresh dose each time. I mean, it is oil. How could it go bad mixed with water and Cocowet in a dark brown glass bottle?

I think the cocowet, if anything, would be the issue.
I pre-mix my neem and simply shake the bottle very time I go to use it... seems to work.
I'm not sure that the wetting agent/surfactant is particularly important for a neem oil product to work. I'd be more concerned with a spreader/sticker if I were using the mix as a foliar feed and needed a very even application. With neem, you'll be misting lightly, allowing to dry, misting lightly the next day, and so on until you see a slight glossiness.

Thank you very much...two birds with one stone:stoned:
