It's packed with essential nutrients and has natural pesticidal properties, making it a great addition to your gardening routine. Here are general instructions for its use: 1.

As a Soil Amendment (for Plants/Vegetables/Flowers) Preparation:Neem cake is often used as a soil amendment to improve the health and fertility of the soil. Mixing with Soil: Mix neem cake with the soil at a ratio of about 1 part neem cake to 10 parts soil (or 10% neem cake by volume). Application: Spread neem cake evenly on the surface of the soil or mix it into the top few inches of soil.

This can be done when preparing the soil for new planting or as a supplement for existing plants. Watering:After application, water the soil thoroughly to help activate the neem cake and ensure it reaches the plant roots. 2.

As a Fertilizer (for Existing Plants) For Established Plants/Vegetables:Neem cake can be used as a slow-release fertilizer for a variety of plants. Around the Base of Plants: Apply a thin layer (1 to 2 inches) of neem cake around the base of your plants, making sure to keep it away from the plant stem to prevent any potential rot. Incorporate into the Soil: Gently work the neem cake into the soil using a rake or garden fork to mix it in lightly.

Watering: Water the plants thoroughly after application to help the neem cake break down and release its nutrients. 3. As a Natural Pest Repellent For Pest Control: Neem cake can help repel pests such as root-feeding nematodes, soil-borne fungi, and insects.

Application around Plants: Spread neem cake around your plants in the soil, as it has natural pesticidal properties that can deter pests. Reapply:Depending on the severity of the pest issue, you may need to reapply neem cake every 4-6 weeks. 4.

As a Compost Additive To Enhance Composting: Adding neem cake to your compost pile helps boost the nutrient content and can act as a natural pest deterrent. Mixing:Add a handful of neem cake to your compost pile or bin along with other organic materials like kitchen scraps, leaves, and grass clippings. Turning: Turn the compost regularly to ensure the neem cake breaks down effectively and contributes to a richer, more nutrient-dense compost mix.

5. As a Soil Conditioner (for Heavy Clay or Sandy Soil) Improving Soil Structure:Neem cake helps break down compacted soil, making it easier for plant roots to penetrate and absorb nutrients. Amount:Use around 1-2 ltr of neem cake per 10 square feet of soil for moderate soil conditioning.

Clay Soil: For clay-heavy soils, mix neem cake with the soil to improve aeration and water drainage. Sandy Soil: For sandy soils, neem cake helps improve moisture retention and soil fertility. General Tips: Do Not Overapply: While neem cake is organic and safe, overuse can lead to nutrient imbalances.

Stick to the recommended application amounts. Storage: Store neem cake in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its effectiveness. Frequency: For best results, apply neem cake once every 4-6 weeks, depending on the plant type and soil condition.

Neem cake is a great all-natural way to improve your gardens health and prevent pests, while also being environmentally friendly!
