Things I forgot to mention:
1. The legal situation for using Neem Oil / Azadirachtin is quite complex. I might do a separate video on this at a later date if people wish for it.
Neem oil isn't technically a registered / approved pesticide in the UK. It is approved in the EU under EC Reg 1107/2209 ([ Ссылка ]). There are numerous research documents discussing its effects and impacts, which conclude that by and large, it is safe. A good summary can be found in this document produced by the US Environmental Protection Agency: [ Ссылка ]
2. BUT Neem oil is NOT banned in the UK. This is a rumour that was started by someone editing the wikipedia page for neem oil and getting a few details wrong. Because the active ingredient isn't technically approved for pesticidal use alone, it is necessary for products containing the active ingredient to go through a process of individual approval. There are examples of products containing azadirachtin which have been approved for the UK market. More info here:
([ Ссылка ]) Using the mixture as I describe in the video is considered a home remedy and using it at a small scale is likely permissible under UK law in the same way that many other home made garden remedies such as garlic sprays, compost tea, spraying milk for mildew etc. are allowed.

3. Neem oil absolutely stinks so be careful using it indoors or in greenhouses and try to avoid getting it on yourself or your clothes!
4. Neem oil can be really effective for potted plants, by making up a solution in the same way that I've shown in part 4, and using it to water the plant.
5. Neem oil solidifies in cold temperatures and can be harmed by high temperatures. If you need to liquefy solidified oil then place the bottle in warm, but NOT HOT, water.
I hope you enjoy this one, probably the most work I've put into producing & researching a video!
