Diatomaceous Earth - Where can I buy this?

I used DE for the first time a month ago, there is barely a fly around our coop, also used on the compost pile and a dog!!!We will continue to use it

Geesh, I wish I could find it for that price. I had to pay $40 for a 50 pound bag at my local co-op, but they had to order it for me.

When I asked our local feed and seed store about DE they had no idea also! I told them about it and it's benefits so they decided to order some to stock in the store. It is worth a shot to ask your local feed and seed to look into it so then you won't have to pay extra shipping.

I'm so jealous! Yes, that is a great buy, I can't even find it in my neck of the woods. No one has a clue what I'm talking about and I have to buy it online also. Congrats on your find and yes, the ''Food codex chemical grade'' is correct.

I am gonna call tomorrow and ask about that price....she might have been talking about the other 'stuff' we found that she thought was the DE....I thought that seemed sorta cheap for that 50# bag...will let you all know tomororw if 17.00 was correct...if it is..I am gonna buy a whole skid of it !!

So now that I have it, tell me about the uses. I have heard to sprinkle it on them, how much? A teaspoon? And on the floor, again how much for a 15 by 5 coop? And in the food????
Thanks in advance!!!!!

That's funny - I'm in Missouri & I'm 3 miles from a MFA. I didn't even bother to check there, I drove 10 miles to another farm store

I have no idea how much to use danamillette. I was hoping it came with directions

Do a search for "stall dry" and you will find a lot of info on this great product. It is a combo of DE and clay pellets that works great. TSC sells it for 9.99 for 26#. If you have a TSC near you (that's Tractor Supply Company).

Co-op and farm supply stores.
