Where do you buy Diatomaceous Earth?

Actually they have Big R stores here in the midwest too. In fact, I moved here from California but I had never heard of or seen Big R until I moved to Indiana. Unfortunately the Big R near us closed a few years ago but there is one an hour or so away. For us, TSC is also about an hour away. We do have a Rural King but I don't go there.

Didn't know that! Actually, I just assumed it was a west coast thing but from the websites, looks like they are scattered all over the PNW/midwest states. Oops!

I found the large bags on amazon and so far it is the cheapest too.

our farmers coop in Coweta sells it for 25.99. 50lb bag.

Because DE is so bulky, it is often best to buy it online, but from someone who is geographically close to you, due to high shipping costs. Freshwater Organics sells 50 lb bags for $19 - $25 per bag, but shipping can cost more than that if you are too far from Utah. But if you are within UT, or within 1 or 2 UPS bands of Utah, then the shipping isn't too bad.

Swimming pool DE is NOT food grade and NOT safe for humans and pets.

Our local Tractor Supply Company stocks food grade in 4 lb containers and 20 lb bags.

I got my food grade Diatomaceous Earth through My Pet Chicken store, then I found out our local feed & seed carries it. Should be able to locate it online, if not at your local feed & seed, and probably for a better price online.

NEVER use DE for pool filters, it is dangerous to you and your chickens. I purchased food grade DE from my local Tractor Supply. 40 lbs for $20.
