I noticed on Wikipedia entry on Neem oil it mentions low solubility and adding surfactant like dish soap 1 tablespoon per gallon makes it more effective. Neem concentrate from Green Light doesn't mention whether surfactant is added. Anyone adding soap to their Neem/water solution before spraying?

You are better off getting a spreader sticker, it will be more efficient.

I would think that if your using the stuff in the link that the other 30% of ingredients would contain some kind of surfactant. The whole adding dish soap to the neem is only if your using pure neem oil. Though I would like to here some other peoples opinion as I'm using the same product. :)

Neem oil already is composed of plant alkaloids which are themselves emulsifiers. I wouldn't add anything to Neem.
