Hi all, hope yer and kin are well and in health!

Been a slow but steady , at 6 month exactly today, starting to frost up so I'm thinking 1-2 weeks left.

I'm starting to see a fair few leaves dying off and am a wee bit concerned that these dying/rotting off will be an attractive to nasty buggies.

I'm wondering how late one can apply anti-critter measeure. I've used a peroxide solution for drenching the plants once a week and more infrequently neem spray.

How late before chop would you recommend the last anti critter spray?

Many thanks in advance!

I've used a rag soaked in pyrethrum mix and wiped underside of leaves suspecting spidermite but I found caterpillars. Tiny little greenies. So one by one gone I've gone over each plant today and removed as many as I could.

Cheers folks, my bad yes, consciously dropped of the neem soap a few weeks ago.
From what I gather peroxide is ok right up to chop. Doubt I'll go that far, lol just feels not right.
Some pics to follow ( Grrrr... 3 days of rain expected so after that)
Thanks again!

Ace! Do you add a little gentle/organic soap to the neem solution? Otherwise the neem oil and water wont mix. My recipe from trees dot com:
1l of warm water
5ml of neem oil.
1-2ml of mild liquid soap (castille)
Haha how'd you find it? The neem reeks like bacon fat to me. Bluergh!

I'm sure seasoned member will address the food for your specific soil type - I've always used Liquid Seaweed.
