It is a genuine dual-purpose input: a slow organic fertilizer carrying nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur, and at the same time a soil amendment that makes life difficult for the pests that live underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pest-deterrent effect comes from the neem compounds that survive oil extraction.

Neem cake slows nitrogen loss, so your NPK feed goes further. Many growers use neem cake in the soil and a water-soluble NPK as the weekly feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeem cake or neem oil spray — which do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDifferent jobs. Neem cake for anything living in the soil: grubs, nematodes, termites, root mealybug. Neem oil spray for anything sitting on the leaves. Serious pest problems usually need both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe around pets and children?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is far safer than a synthetic soil insecticide, but it is still a garden input — store the bag closed and out of reach, and work it into the soil rather than leaving it loose on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does 1 kg last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoughly 20–30 pots, or five to ten square metres of bed depending on the rate you use.
