Neem Extract

It is easy to make your own natural Neem extract. Use the green leaves, seeds, fruit of the Neemtree and ferment just like you would to make the Ginger-Garlic or Immuboost extracts.

But many people dont have Neem trees in their backyard. Luckily this is easily overcome. Gofor a walk in your backyard or around your neighborhood. Look for areas where there are pests,

but certain plants remain pest-free. Chances are good that if you ferment these plants leaves, you can make your own pest deterrent.

Also think about what you can buy from the store that will drive insects away (besides pesticideobviously). Cayenne and chili peppers are hot. Something bitter like Bitter Gourd discourages

browsers also. Herbs that are aromatic have the tendency to discourage pests also. Try acombination of all these, test, change the recipe, have fun with it!

This demonstrates a basic lesson of natural farming. Nature usually has solutions if you knowhow to look. Observe natural phenomena and learn from them. Have fun, experiment, and enjoythe journey!

Is there any specific plants that you could recommend? I live near large tracts ofundeveloped land and, could spread seeds of these natural insecticidal plants. Mites,stinkbugs and aphids give us skullcramps down here in SE Louisiana!

Not sure I follow you want to plant the undeveloped land with plants that areresistant to those pests? Then harvest the plants to make your pest deterrent? Notsure off the top of my head but Ill ask Gil to have a look at this thread. For now

heres a list of repellent p lants from wikipedia: repellent plants Big Ray

Yes, thats exactly what I have in mind. If there are plants that are known to be resistantto the pathogens/pests that are most troublesome here then, Id like to sow more of thosearound here for locals to harvest and use.

Ill also keep an eye out for plants that would meet Gils criteria for a Neem plant but,

how will I know if that plant is resistant or, if it just hasnt been attacked yet?

Ive given Gils web address to several local gardeners and hopefully, they just might start using these methods if the resources are readily available.

Thats great! What a good project. Regard ing finding a resistant plant take awalk in the fields or gardens around and look for places where there is an

infestation, but some plants remain pest-free. A good place to do this is thegarden, since you have many different species in close proximity. I just did that inmy garden with a philodendron, it was resisting everything other plants seemed toail of, so I got a bunch of leaves to ferment. Lets see how it works. Anyway, lookfor pests, look for untroubled plants, there you go.

Basil, cilantro, and lavender are all listed as companion plants that are known to driveaway insects. Check the list of companion plants on wikipedia for some other ideas.

Ya exactly all the aromatic herbs are generally good as insect deterrents. Andthey smell great!

The curry tree (Murraya koenigii) is a tropical to sub-tropical tree in the family Rutaceae,does not seem to be attacked by any insects. I have 7 trees or plants and all of them are

doing great. Never known to be attacked by insects. It cannot grow in cold countries but Ihear they do well in parts of Australia and California

There you go, thanks people for pitching in with great ideas for plants to use.

Hi! Can I use neem extract with chili to exterminate fire ants? Ive tried chili mixed i nwater but it didnt work. I saw the fire ants carrying the chili flakes!

You can tryI think it will take more than that though

Not sure what would absolutely work. Ideally something you can spray that willkeep them away. Ideally you would collect the ants themselves, ferment them,and use that as a spray. That should work, but hard to do since theyd be hard tocollect in quantity (so small).
