I ended up getting a 50# bag because that was the best deal at the local feed store. What application rate do you use in the coop? I was planning to use a flour suffer to apply to.my garden plants, but was unsure about in the coop. TIA

When you use food grade DE (which I do), can you put the shavings in the composter and then put the resulting compost in the garden without killing worms and other beneficials?

Most places that SELL it will tell you it won't kill earthworms.

Those same places will tell you it DOES kill worms inside chickens

Personally I think they lie so you will buy it, since it kills by dehydration

It WILL kill hard shelled insects IF it's dry.

That's it's only scientifically proven use​
