Okeeedookee...Northern PA...where can I find Food Grade DE???

[definetlydeb]

Any ideas....called supply stores, don't even know what I am talking about....why they think I am a "Crazy Chicken Lady"!!!!

I don't know a supplier but, they also use DE in the plant world (horticulture) and they only buy food grade DE. Have you tried googling that?

 

[definetlydeb]

Geeeze....NO!!!

That would mean I would have to leave BYC for a min....OMGosh....

Ok, Great Idea...guess maybe I will give that a whirl!!! Thanks so much.....please bare with me....

I am preparing to separate from BYC....

Try and call some local health food stores they usually have 1lb. and 5lb. bags of foodgrade de but would probably order a larger quantity if you asked them. My local
health food store will order 50lb bags, a couple local feed stores just give me a blank stare and say nope cant get it when i ask them for food grade de or diatomaceous earth.

I get mine at a local feed store. Their 50 lb. bag is $16 + tax if I remember right.

Here are the places in PA that sell DE (Perma-Guard). Sorry, but I have no idea which may be in northern PA.

Edited to say that sometimes it is called "fossil shell flour."
