Most preppers understand that gardening is a cornerstone of long-term self-reliance, yet far too many operate under a dangerous assumption: that growing food is simply a matter of seeds, soil, and water. The reality is that every garden faces an inevitable adversary—pests that can decimate weeks of careful cultivation in a matter of days. If your preparedness plan includes food production but lacks a reliable, organic solution for pest control, you've built your garden on a foundation that could collapse when you need it most.

In this episode, Todd shares a time-tested neem oil recipe he's used successfully in his own garden, along with the critical details that make the difference between an effective treatment and wasted effort. You'll learn why this particular approach to organic gardening matters for preppers who refuse to compromise their soil with harsh chemicals, how to properly mix and apply the solution for maximum effectiveness against garden pests, and the storage considerations that most people overlook—mistakes that render even the best organic bug recipe useless. Todd also addresses the broader preparedness implications of having this capability when supply chains fail and garden stores are no longer an option.

For those serious about genuine food independence, understanding how to protect your harvest isn't optional—it's fundamental knowledge. Whether you're currently maintaining a productive garden or building toward that goal, these are the practical, organic pest control skills that separate those who can actually feed themselves from those who merely think they can.
