can the castor oil/dawn solution be mixed with a liquid fertilizer like fish emulsion? I would like to spray only once if possible.

Yes, it can be used in that fashion but please be aware that this is only a temporary repellant treatment. It will need to be reapplied several times during the growing season. If the need to reapply coincides with your liquid fertilizer it could save some time. Since the time castor oil will remain effective as a repellant can depend upon concentration, soil type, pest type and other variables. The only way to determine that for sure is by trial and error. I recommend mixing with kitty litter and when absorbed mixing it with a dry fertilizer like bonemeal. Good Luck!

You can, but only apply a little with the tips of your fingers the way you would apply an oil. I mix my with jamacian black castor oil and jojoba oil. Dab with your finger tips and apply lightly to you scalp only.

I just used a regular garden pressure sprayer. I mixed the concentrate according to the directions and no problems here. Does this side of you house get wet when it rains.... Maybe you could try wetting the house with a hose a few times as this works best with regular rainfall after it dries. Mine gets better with each rain. I usually do mine every two years.

Yes, it is an emulsified formula and mixes well with water. I only apply it with water and it works great!

This is a Concentrate you must mix with water. The amount you dilute is dependent upon the individual situation. This was enough for a small garden of 20 plants for an entire summer for my personal application. An emulsifier could possibly be needed because it is an oil based liquid.(I use a small amount of dish soap)

Hi rkoehl, The Neem oil has to be mixed with 2-4 table spoon (it could be tea spoon) with 1 gallon of water plus 1/2 table spoon dish soap and spray to whatever you want to treat. It would be better pour soap first and then the oil, and then fill with water. Shake well!!!. The amont of neem oil would be changed to what kinds of insect you want to kill. Basically, the neem oil is mild pestcide comparing with the other organic pesticide. If, you are treating worms like Tomato Horn Worms, BT will work much better and it is still authrized as organic farming. Spinoced (May be spell wrong) would work small pests, but it is still organic matter. It is fully recommended not giving in day time. The oil and water work like lens and burn leaves. So, it is better giving spray toward sunset time.

This product did not work well for me. I have tried the granulated castor oil and it seems to keep them out of my lawn. Castor oil must be spread every 6 weeks

That is what I did. I mixed it 50/50 with purified water.Since I am on a drilled water well, I boiled the water. Then let it cool, (but not cold). Put in an equal amount of flakes. Stirred them until the flakes were dissolved.Then put it into a spray bottle... It worked out OK. (No clogged sprayer like I thought might would happen).

Robert, If you meant to ask "does the label allow ..." for use in a fogger; the answer would be no. And this would be true whether you wanted to mix it with water or kerosene. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

For home use, i have found the liquid easy (and safe) to mix. And the persistence of the results seem in line with the product claims. So i have had no reason to try the powder. Also, if the solution dries on the ground, i would wonder if the powder would become airborne. With the liquid, i worried at first that the sprinklers operating on subsequent days would wash away the insecticide, but iI've been spraying the house perimeter and planted areas every 10 weeks and I've had zero bug problems.

Castor oil is good for everything !!! I assume you can use anything to wash it out but, I wouldn't wash it out.

I used it on a lawn. Since it is only castor oil, I would suspect harvest could be soon.

Sorry but I have not used this with oil based products yet but I would not be afraid to. Works great with water based.

Hi,this oil really isn't an oil, it's watery. So I don't think it'll really mix with other oils. Maybe, I'm sorry I just don't know.

The quick answer is no, but the best answer is to mix about 1/2 to 1 cup (varies with amount of weeds) with about 2 gallons of water then add a 'wetting' agent like (believe it or not) 1 1/2 ounces (about 1 shot) of joy liquid soap. That will break the surface tension of the water and spread the diuron over a larger area before allowing it to drop to the bottom. This will vastly increase the coverage area and improve the overall job while using less material.If the intent is to totally clear out the pond, then throw a half pound in dry and it will mix. As I have mentioned to others, brace yourself for an algae bloom from the dying weeds. It will need to be treated as well when it comes.

As noted by others it can be mixed with just water, but you can also add it to a number of pesticides instead of water so you get a combined effort with one spray application. Just confirm with your pesticide supplier that you can mix with IGR.

Yes, but don't put it directly on the plants just the soil. This Castor oil is pretty thick and the best way I have found to apply it evenly is to mix it with kitty litter. Use the cheapest litter (no odor control etc.) Nine parts of litter to one part Castor oil by volume. Mix in container, it may take a day to fully adsorb, spread on ground where you don't want gophers. In a day or two they leave, reapply if/when it appears they are returning. Good luck!
