Re: [nafex] Neem Oil and Peaches
www.greenlight.com
You can buy it online. In the USA, Lowe's Home Improvement Center carries
it under the Green Light label and under the name Vegetable, Fruit & Nut
Spray. Gardens Alive and Gardener's Supply catalogs carry it, too, but the
stuff they package is very watered down and not as effective. A bottle of
neem oil will run about $15 US, plus shipping, but it's a huge amount. I
think the bottle is 32 oz., but you only use a tablespoon to make gallons of
spray.
