Q&A – Will neem oil hurt the vegetables in my garden?

Question:
Will neem oil hurt the vegetables in my garden?
​​
Answer:

Neem oil will not hurt the vegetables in your garden if you apply it correctly. Alainia Hagerty, owner of tomatobaby.com says do not apply the oil when temperatures are over 90 degrees. If you do, it will burn the plants. Always remember to read and follow the directions on the label.
