Hello I also would like neem seeds and I have cayenne seeds to trade. Hopefully someone is growing them in the U.S. Thanks Christine

I am very interested. I sent you an email as well. I got 10 flame trees seeds a month ago, and unfortunately I killed 5 of the 7 seedlings before they emerged from the seed. Luckily two survived, hopefully they will make it. I need more... I would like to plant a dozen of these trees on my 5 acre property.

Sorry, but you can forget them now. Neem is very short viable. After about 4 weeks, they are done. I tried seeds from 3 different suppliers and they were all not fresh enough. Bought some seedling last year and I have a 6 f tree and some smaller ones now.

Aileen: tobacco leaves are effective against caterpillars and aphids. Google that and you'll see. Tobacco leaves have NPK of 4- 0.5 -6, a nitrogen of 4, and a potassium of 6 is excellent. Tea leaves that Khalid uses have NPK of 4.15 - 0.62 - 0.4. Walmart sells fertilizer at reduced price in the fall, I always stock up on blood meal NPK 12-0-0 plus iron. Blood meal is lower in salt than chicken manure, and I need lots of nitrogen due to my roses die to the crown in my zone 5a winter. Peanut shells that Val uses has NPK or 0.8 - 0.15 - 0.5 ... I used cocoa mulch NPK of 2.5 -1 -3, but it's so high in sticky magnesium which makes nitrogen long-lasting. When nitrogen is given with magnesium (as in alfalfa meal) .. it's effective for years. It has been 5 years since I dumped the entire 40 lbs. bag of alfalfa meal on that tomato bed, and those are still 4 times more leaves than the ones in front. Magnesium is the "glue" that holds nutrients long. Hair is just as high in nitrogen as blood meal, but without iron. NPK of hair is 12 to 16 in nitrogen. Here's from livescience.com on using hair as fertilizer: "Previous studies had also shown that human hair discarded from barbershops and hair salons can also be a nutrient source for plants when combined with other compost materials. But it had not yet been proven that hair could act alone as an effective fertilizer. To test this, Vlatcho Zheljazkov and his colleagues at Mississippi State University pitted waste hair against commercial fertilizers. They compared the productivity of four plants, lettuce, wormwood, yellow poppy and feverfew, under four different treatments: non-composted hair cubes, a controlled-release fertilizer, a water-soluble fertilizer, and no treatment. Plant yields increased for the hair-fertilized plants compared to the untreated controls overall, but were still lower than for the commercial, inorganic fertilizers in lettuce and wormwood, which are fast-growing plants. Yellow poppy, however, saw higher yields for the hair treatment. (The results didn't differ between fertilizers for the feverfew.)"
