I've heard of it as neem oil spray, "Target Neem," etc., but where can you find it? And what kind works for you?
Where and which neem spray?
I found it at Lowe's. I used it for mildew on my Phlox, but so far it hasn't worked, my be I did it too late, I don't know.

Did you try baking soda (1.5 Tbsp per gallon H20)? I thought weekly applications of that were as good as any of the marketed stuff. Maybe not...
Do you know what brand neem you bought? Wiltpruf? I just found Bio Neem concentrate yesterday, mixed it and sprayed it onto my poor flea-beetle infested potato plants (except one, just for comparison purposes). Two inches of rain later, the plants I sprayed are still flea-less. The other one's speckled with them. I'll check Lowe's. Maybe they have it cheaper...
Thank you for the soda hint, I will try it. The Neem oil concentrate we bought at Lowe's is
Greenlight brand. It was $11.00 a pint bottle. I am glad it worked for you.
Zeppy,
Do you mix your neem oil with dish soap and baking soda?

I just followed the Bon Neem (which calls itself a soap) instructions, which were to mix with 50 parts water. I use baking soda mixtures separately. I've only used the neem for bug pests at this point.
