WTF guys...
Platt, really, you have a very bizarre angle and I think you also have a language barrier to overcome (though you never explained when the topic came up, which I took as a sign that you don't really want to communicate...). AND you also have an asshole side to you as I see.
So here's my request: could you please just sorta wind that all down a bit so it becomes bearable for mere mortals like me? It really would help keep things fun around here
Anyways!

Apparently, neem doesn't mind coppicing, and hence it can be cut back to keep it to room size
But! We also need to consider that the fruit only grow on older branches - 2-3 years old.
So what about the leaves?
Which we'd be getting anyway as part of cutting the plant back.
Turns out you can just dry & pulverize them and then use that, perfectly fine for the pesticidal benefits. (of course I, with my "living matter" hobbyhorse, would shortcut that to blending up the fresh leaves with water and presto
)
Not everything is clear to me, such as equivalence in terms of nutrients, which the neem meal is also good for. BUT it's a start, and has definitely made me take note of the neem tree as a nice candidate for future landscaping projects (out- and indoor haha!)
Cheers!

Actually, you guys talking sent me off to find a nicely comprehensive link on neem trees, growing em, and all that!
