Neem Team - Gardener's Neem cake pellets

Gardeners neem cake comes from the cold-pressed neem seeds once the oil has been extracted. Neem cake has been used for centuries in India as a soil improver and fertilizer for crops with natural, organic, biodegradable non-toxic pesticidal properties. 

Neem cake has a balanced NPK in organic form for plant growth and contains up to 40% proteins. Being a totally botanical product it contains 100% natural NPK content and other essential micro nutrients like calcium, manganese, sulphur, zinc and copper etc for more balanced plant growth. It is rich in both sulphur compounds and bitter limonoids which help plant resistance to soil pests and fungal disease. Unlike fertilisers with higher NPK ratios, it does not encourage unbalanced growth and can be spread through the year.

The result? Better soil quality and healthier, stronger plants 

Compatible with soil microbes and encourages earthworm populations, it is biodegradable and non-toxic for birds and mammals making it a safe and eco-friendly vegan choice for gardens.

In backyard pets, giving a 1/2 tablespoon of pellets per day per chicken or rabbit gives a natural source of plant protein and can help lower worm and pest burdens due to the residual limonoid content.

Directions: 

• Planters, pots and tubs: incorporate 3-4 tablespoons of pellets in 10 litres growing medium.
• Trees/Shrubs: 1 kg per 1/3 square metre growing medium/soil.
• Lawns: 2 1/2-5 tablespoons per square metre top dressing.
• Vegetables/fruits: 6-8 tablespoons per square metre.
• Chickens/rabbits: offer 1/2 tablespoon per day mixed with usual ration.
