[Market-farming] Mixing Neem with other things

I don't like Neem - because it is a broad spectrum killer, and will kill beneficials as well as pests.  Having said that, it seems obvious that it will kill the BT, since it is a bacteria.  Putting it with fish and kelp might be ok (no harm done), but the other thing is that it is an oil, and added to fish "oil", the sun can cause some damage.

  I have a question for all you seasoned market gardeners...Can I safely mix neem oil with other things?  I would like to mix it with fish emulsion, and at times with BT.  I have never known what is OK to do with mixing various things.

  For example...I have fungus gnats and the appropriate BT for that.  Can I do a neem oil, BT, and then add some fish emulsion too in the same sprayer at the same time?  does anyone know about this stuff?
