  Dr. E et al,
     Has anyone tried adding, after the brewing process, neem oil to
  the CT solution?

Neem Oil is a fungicide. I wouldn't add it unless I wanted a highly bacter=
ial tea. It is a leaf extract. If you had an outbreak, you may be able to =
use it as a plant tea in place of a conventional fungicide. It seems a pre=
tty expensive way to go and I don't know how it would work when diluted. I=
t seems contrary to ACT in general.
