Neem Essential Oil a GREAT natural pesticide for you garden

As a natural pesticide: Using neem derivatives for managing pests is a non-violent approach to controlling pests. Neem products work by intervening at several stages of the insect's life. They may not kill the pest instantaneously but incapacitate it in several ways. Neem very subtly employs effects such as repellence, feeding and ovipositional deterrence, growth inhibition, mating disruption, chemo-sterilization, etc..
 

Extracts from neem have shown incredible success with not only battling fungus problems but also many forms of root rot. Neem biodegrades in a matter of weeks when exposed to the sunlight. Pure Neem oil will retain its potency much longer if stored in a cool place away from strong light. Here are some tips on using Neem oil:

(1) Don't mix any more than you need.
(2) Add water and a little Ivory Dish Soap to the plant before spraying.
(3) Spray the complete plant including the potting media.
(4) Mix 1 oz. in 1 gallon of water.

For Maintenance 1 teaspoon per gallon of water

I highly recommend this for eco friendly gardening.
