    DE ? Lime?

    I've been reading the discussions on DE as to if it's effective as an insecticide or not. As in all things there are different opinions out there. The consensus seems to be that it is helpful. My goal is to keep insects and smell to a minimum. I like the fact that the food grade DE is natural...
