When dried it keeps for years, I usually just brew a batch "as needed" because it lacks preservatives & may start to mold after a couple-few weeks after brewing.
An el-cheapo cigar will do nicely in a pinch 'till you've had time to grow a batch.
It will kill most soft bodied insects shortly upon contact.
"Home gardener" quantities of a gallon or two will have little environmental impact, it does not kill earthworms or bees unless applied directly to them and being a "contact poison", its persistence is negligible.
We have lots of seed here of both cultivars & offer half-grams (about 4000 seeds, +/-) for the price of postage to the forum members here.
Or else you can find it on places like ebay for $3.95 if you feel 45¢ for a stamp is too cheap:
