Do you have any feed stores or a Co-Op in your area? I am in Jackson and we have a couple of privately-owned feed stores that both carry food grade DE. I don't know if the Co-Op has it or not, I haven't looked. If you have a good feed store they can order it for you.

Good Luck!

Check with your local mill ,or ag ext.or co-op . It is about 22.00 for a 50.lb bag and you do not have to use alot .

Hello

See if this website helps. Fertrell sells food grade DE. I was able to find several dealers near my home. Good luck to you!

There was a post that I am trying to recall. I think it said Randall Burkey had it online. Seems it was $40/50#. Nearest place I have located it was 50 miles away from me.
