Has anyone had problems using this on vegetable plants? I'm growing veggies this year and I don't want anything toxic.

My mom who is 87 years old, reaches over the balcony to reach over to the freshly growing bud / leaves of the Neem tree that grows by the side of the house. She'll chew on these the first thing in the morning before breakfast. She does this daily. It's an excellent blood cleanser. Ayurvedic texts extoll the virtues of the Neem plant, so much so, that it's knows as the "village pharmacy"!! < These should be enough reasons to consider it safe! However, I am only talking about the naturally growing whole Neem plant / tree. This product is a derivative so it might contain other ingredients.

Problem with a different brand on my skin. I'm noting this in case someone might have the same sensitivity as me or knows the reason. When I use neem oil, I have to wear gloves just to touch the bottle (brand is Garden Safe). It makes me itch and blister even if I wash RIGHT after. I don't have that problem with any products, bug repellant nor even motor oil. So as said previous, maybe there are important inert ingredients. Just my experience. I don't know which ingredient bothers me, so I am trying another method until I figure it out.

While neem oil may be harmless, I have contacted the company to find out what the rest of the ingredients are. After all, if I am concerned about what I use in my garden, I should be entitled to know what is in it. This is the response I got: "The other 30% is inert ingredients. Inert ingredients are classified as confidential by law, so I'm not at liberty to give them out." To me this rings alarm bells! I ended up purchasing pure neem oil. You still dilute it, as you would this product. This way I do not have 30% of undisclosed ingredients to deal with and neem oil is the only active ingredient anyway. The product I chose is Coastal Scents Neem Oil, 16.90 Fluid Ounce, for $13, on Amazon. I like that it is fare trade and not tested on animals.

I think you can spray this on your corn flacks and be okay. It's a very natural product

My goodness, this (Neem plant) is far from toxic. In India neem leaves and bark has been used for centuries to ward off plant bugs. It twigs were used to chew ends and clean teeth. Please read up on Neem on the Internet.

I do not know, I have only used the Garden Safe Fungicide3. I have been using it for years, and it seems to work in a variety of situations, so personally I will stick with it, why change if it works,right?

I am not sure if it is harmful to plants. I would take a look at diatomaceous earth food grade to protect your plants and or garden vegetation. Check out this video I believe it will be a great help to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttv7YFfMnRE

Based on all that I have read it should be safe. I do not recall a warning for garden use. Ultimately, I think the manufacturer may be best suited to answer your question definitively.

I love this product; however, I would not use directly on vegetable plants. It is much safer to use around the plants than a weed killer like roundup, but you will need to be sure not to get any on your veggies.

Yes, George! I have used it the last couple years on my tomatoes and cucumbers and it really works. Start using it early, even before any signs of disease and continue to spray it on every week. Rotate your crop so you aren't planting were you had blight last year, it remains in the soil from year to year. I also plant in black plastic to help separate the plant from the soil. Be sure to spray the lower leaves the most. Good luck!

I have used it so many times. Never had a problem with the plants. It could be that it changes the ph in the soil making it better for the plants. Grass has a tendency to die where dogs pee a lot, and this product neutralizes it.

I don't spray peppers or tomatoes... with anything... Ever!This is a Registered Organic product, I would think you could wash this easily from those two veggies.I mostly use this on my Broccoli, Cabbage, and Cauliflower. I gave at least a week, and then I still rinse well.

I use "Safer" brand insecticidal soap. I've heard that some people have success using a small amount of dish soap, but I've avoided those because I'm afraid they will be too harsh on the plants.

Since we are using it to grow vegetables (greens) we have chosen not to stain it. We do not want to risk the stain leaching into our food.

The label has a caution about using it on edible crops. As such, I wouldn't use it on a vegetable garden.

I didn't have any problems when using this around my plants. I used it both around my flower garden and my vegetable garden. It does not kill all bugs but it does significantly reduce the number of bugs you will have.

Better ask the manufacturer. My opinion is : Don't use it on any plants you will eat!!

This is the best killer that I have ever found. I would think it would kill your sprouts without any problem. I put an ounce of liquid dish soap in my 2 gallon sprayer with any brush/weed killer so it helps it to stay on the leaves and not just run off, Some leaves or even wild onions have a wax on them that sheds water. Hope this helps you.

I have had mine for almost a year. I use it every day on multiple kinds of veg. It works very well for most vegetables (I have never tried with asparagus), although I find that unless enough water is used, celery, apples, and carrots can be quite gritty. It may be slightly louder than my blender, but it works fast, so you don't have to listen to the horrible noise for as long :)
