Neem Leaves as Mulch.

[Ron Herbs]

Hey guys.. What are opinions on using Neem Leaves as mulch on plant potted in Promix. Would it's use affect PH/PPM critically... Or assist in moisture retention and pest control as well as soil amendment? Looking for protection of the soil from the sun as well as any other gains possible organically.

Sounds great to me . I only have experience with neem seed meal as an amendment to soil. Where are you getting the leaves? The silent forest?

I live in the Caribbean. We drive and see it growing wild, as well as in people's yards. It won't be that difficult to obtain. I'll give it a try... But do you know of any drawbacks to using?

Thanks... Will use as many ways possible. It is used for rituals in the Hindu religion. So I'll be asking anyone I meet at the location I get from. I'll also be stopping on the roadway when I see them.
