Cynthia, that was good info..thank you. I haven't had that much luck with neem and I'm only using it as last resort on certain part of certain plant. I will keep an eye out for those stuff you mentioned.
Talk about unlady-like reactions... I once opened a bag of newly purchased bark mix only to discover it was covered in mold. I didn't keep the receipt so I put the mix in the aluminum tray and poured boiling water over it and let it soak a while and then used it . I was just glad no one was around to hear me and my potty mouth at work.
Same thing happened to my own batch of mix I made myself and stored in a large air tight tupperware.. so now before I store it , I'd add some fungicide to the bark mix and it hasn't happened again...yet.
