DE Question

[BR75]

My coop is 8' X 8'. I am going to try the deep liter method. I have read about putting DE in the nesting boxes and the pine shavings, but I am not really sure how much I should put down with my current floor space. Can anyone tell me how many lbs I should put into my pine shavings or is there a general rule about lbs per ft2?

I don't know of any general use directions, but I run my flock out of their coop & use about a quart to dust EVERYTHING in a 8'x16' area.
