I am totally confused. It appears that Neem oil is banned in the U.K for horticultural use. And yet it is widely available to buy on the internet and it also seems to be loved by those who use it. As a law abiding organic gardener, what am I to do?

You say it's banned in the UK? That's nonsense. Check your facts. I live in the UK and have bought it online and in local health stores.
