Using Neem Oil & Essential Oils to Control Diseases & Pests in Your Cut Flower Garden

If you are interested in growing as organically as possible we'll show you how we use Neem oil and other essential oils to prevent disease and bug pressure in our cut flower garden.
We use this recipe for the pests (looking at you, spider mites, Japanese beetles, earwigs, slugs, aphids, and thrips) and diseases that are specific to our garden, like powdery mildew, black spot, sooty mold, rust, root rot and more.
