Neem is a locally available tree that grows like a weed.
Neem is a local insect repellent.
The season is hot and dry.
Compost should be hot and moist with few insects (like no termites!).
Why not use neem as mulch for my compost to hold in moisture and repel insects!
*Lightbulb!*
Using my razor sharp machete I annihilated small saplings from the bush and ruthlessly chopped them into fine mulch.
I lavishly spread the new Super Mulch over my compost and soil piles.
And I’m not sure if it kept the insects away, but the water retention has been great.
Result: Success!
