Al, I've had dismal failure using Neem on aphids; did absolutely
nothing. I think the little beggers actually liked it; they seemed
to thrive, not die. I was moaning about this on some list and
someone posted that it makes a difference where you get it and what
the percentage of ingredients is. Have you found this? Obviously,
whatever you're using is working.
I've not seen Cinnamite anywhere, bet it's something only the pros
can get...anybody ever seen it for sale for the general gardener?
