Then water your plants at least 30 minutes before you intend to spray so that the plants can build up their immunity against leaf burn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862795292493220882.post-47756766518511920202009-03-28T10:07:00.000-07:002009-03-28T10:07:00.000-07:00neem oil? i read somewhere tat it might be good fo...neem oil? i read somewhere tat it might be good for bugs. =)Fresh Fry aka 福星https://www.blogger.com/profile/08676717356912288873noreply@blogger.com
