Will Neem Oil work? If not, I need to get Bacillus Thuringienis for my keyhole gardens and a raised garden
that has quite a few of that family in it. I plan on eating and sharing each and every one of these plants.

tillacum: Will Neem Oil work?

I believe that it will work on sucking and leaf eating insects since it is a systemic insecticide, with a limited 'half-life'.
The Bacillus Thuringienis is specific to the Lepodoptera family of moths and butterflies , and is 'organic' and found naturally in the wild .
Bt is generally found in powder form , can be mixed with water
and a few drops of liquid soap as a surfactant (made sticky on waterproof leaves)
and is not toxic to humans.
