DE for sale in central/upstate NY?

[trilyn]

Hey NY'ers,

I'm looking for somewhere to buy food grade DE locally, I've asked at a couple of feed stores. They sound interested, tell me they'll look into it, ask for my number and all that, but I never hear back from them and am tired of chasing them down. Does anyone have a lead on where to purchase some? I wouldn't mind driving up to 50-100 miles away. I figured I would just stock up enough to make it worth my while.

Any help is appreciated.

Trish

Shoot I just knew someone was going to accidentally say what DE is on this thread...

I don't even know what it is! But good luck!

I have also inquired locally about purchasing DE with no luck. Some people have only heard of pool grade DE, which is not the same. I had to order my food grade DE on Ebay. Here is a link to the company I purchased it from..... www.earthworkshealth.com It cost 13.00 for a 10 pound bag and 12.00 for shipping. It was a little more expensive than I had hoped but at least I have some now! Now I can label my eggs "Organic" It only took 3 days to recieve it. Good luck, hope this helps. BTW We live about 25 miles from E. Syracuse, In Oswego County
