Just wanted to let anyone else out there having the same issues with bugs, that the neem oil worked great. I added 1 ½ teaspoons of neem oil to a 32oz spray bottle with warm water in it, then added a few drops of joy dish soap. Shook it all up and soaked the tops and bottoms of all the leaves, the stem and about a 1 ½ foot radius around the plants. You have to make sure you continue to shake the bottle while you are using it, otherwise the neem oil will ball-up in one spot in the bottle. I waited 4 days and sprayed again. The bugs are almost completely gone.
Iâ??m going to have to buy a larger sprayer, because Iâ??m going to spray the surrounding garden. I have tons of roses and ivy close by that have the bugs all over them as well. I figure if I can keep those clean as well, it should help keep down the bugs on my plants.
Anywaysâ?¦ The plants look great. Thanks for the help guys.
