Lazy Bee Gardens uses a dilution of Organic cold pressed Neem Seed Oil (NymBiosys) and Liquid Silicate (Dyna-Gro Pro-Tekt) as a sprayable insecticide. This is applied to plants when they are being cloned, and routinely during their vegetation phase as part of our pest management program. Once the plants are in the flower beds, we discontinue use, as we use beneficial predatory insects in our pen to control mite populations. According to research, Neem Oil should break down and become inert within two weeks of application.
