I love the smell of the peppermint Castile!

Thanks Kim! I am not familiar with Castile soap. Does it help yours keep pest away?

#### Kim replied on 2025-04-15

I don’t think it keeps them away but I dip all new plants in it with bare roots, submerge and agitate a little, rinse then pop in leca and spray with an insecticide. But I like using the soap to wash in between

Yes it does I have a spray bottle with isopropyl alcohol, dawn dish soap, peppermint Castile, neem oil and water
