Neem Bliss (1lb) - Neem Seed Meal - Organic Neem Cake for Plants - OMRI-Listed Fertilizer for Plants, Vegetables, Lawns, & Gardening - 100% Natural & Renewable Garden Fertilizer

I was losing my battle with fungus gnats in my home. Not only did this help to get rid of them, it also acts as an organic fertilizer. My plants started growing like CRAZY after the first application. Friendly tip, strain the liquid before watering your plants with it to ease the odor and the potential for mold. Easy to use, shake it up to mix and you're good to go.

I'm using this to make a watering 'tea' to overwinter my pepper plants and so far not a sign of any gnats! It does smell a bit off to me but it isn't terrible. Just follow the advice of others here and on YT and it works. Last year, all of the yellow sticky traps were collecting gnats but not this year. Very happy with it so far despite the off smell of the tea. Just do not let the solids sit on top of soil or it will begin to get fuzzy. Just to scrape them off if you do and replace with a bit of fresh sterilized dry soil then count down the days until next spring!

Using neem meal as a plant immune-system booster with visible results on our organic farm in the disease- and pest-prone Deep South usa. This seller is great, with excellent price and quick shipping. Will definitely purchase again. We have been using the neem meal mostly by soaking it in water for up to 48 hours, then applying at the roots. The liquid can also be strained and sprayed, but be aware that neem can kill bees, so if your plants are in flower, only spray neem at dusk because it needs 3 hours before bees are safe. We have also used neem oil as a spray, but I'm liking the neem meal a lot for its systemic effects on plants. We have now planted our fall greens by incorporating a light sprinkling of the neem meal into the seed trench or over the whole bed for broadcast seed. There are very few sources of information for growing organically in the deep south, so we've been experimenting a lot. Here's what happened this summer: Our first planting, I only learned about neem meal after everything was already half grown and the tomatoes, cucumbers, and squash all had spotted, wilting leaves that started at the base and moved upwards. The neem meal slowed this down but did not stop it. Our second planting, we used the neem meal fermented liquid from the beginning, starting at seed planting, every few days, and the cucumbers and tomatoes have recovered from their early signs of the same disease symptoms and are growing strong and beautiful. So what I learned is that using the neem from the beginning of planting made the huge difference. We then put the neem meal into the soil when we recently planted the fall greens. Experimentation shows enormous promise-- I just wish we could grow the neem ourselves but that requires zone 10.

I saw a gardener on YouTube recommend making an infusion of 3Tbsp/gal of water and letting it steep for 3 hours to kill an infestation of fungus gnats in houseplants. I took my plants outside, shook as much of the old soil out of the roots as I could then I repotted my plants with fresh potting soil. I watered them with the neem water and put a sticky trap in each. So far no more infestation but I’ll continue to water with the neem water for the next few weeks. Highly recommend this product and strategy.

I originally bought this to control gnats in my overwinter cuttings. It works very good for that as long as you mix it into the growing medium. Top dressing with it is less than ideal. I was worried that the cuttings would erupt into uncontrollable growth by using this product; to a plant they haven’t ever. This must be very slow release which is what I was looking for. I now use this as part of the “beginning fertilizer package” for planting in my garden. It seems to give a long slow pull and the plants look like they benefit. So in the grand scheme, this is more like a supplement than a medicine. If the plant is looking sad now this probably will kick in far too late to help. It isn’t cheap but you don’t use much at all so there’s that. I will continue to use this with all my future planting.

Been dealing with a fungus gnat infestation in my houseplants, and this product solved the problem. I’ve tried hydrogen peroxide, it worked except I have too many plants so I needed tons of it. I also tried mosquito bits soaked in water, which made the infestation better but didn’t get rid of it. I soaked 3.5 tablespoons per 1 gallon of water overnight (sometimes longer if I forgot lol) and after 3 waterings I haven’t seen any fungus gnats. I’ll be doing a 4th just to make sure there’s no more eggs. Only downside is the water smells like farts, pretty bad. It was worth it to me to get rid of the bugs, but it bothered the people around me lol. The plants smell bad for about a day after you water. Definitely worth the price and has lasted me 4 watering with about 40ish plants, and I have some left over.

it didn't work against gnats, which was the reason i purchased it. everyone said it would work against gnats. I had to set my mini garden outside to get rid of them (and the fly catchers i hung helped as well). as a natural fertilizer, no clue if it's helpful. So, to be fair, I'm giving this review 3 stars in case it really does work as a fertilizer. The sun is so horrific these days, and my veggies did not do that well, I can't determine if this product helped fertilize or not. I have a new plan that I hope works against the fire ball in the sky.

This is a great product and works well for pests along with adding some nutrients to whatever you apply it to... some organic products just don't deliver but bliss Neem seed takes the cake ;-)
