Quick DE question!

[RachelFromTheBlackLagoon]

Do feed stores generally carry it? Could somebody please spell it phonetically so I don't sound like a total goob when I go there to ask for it? Haha

thanks!

Make sure you DO NOT get the kind for swimming pools. It has to be food grade. That means don't buy it from Lowe's and Home Depot. You usually have to find it online. I get mine from Hoegger's Goat Supply.
(I live close enough to go pick it up)

Like the previous poster said, Make sure it says FOOD GRADE on the bag/label.
I get mine at different farm supply stores in Springfield, MO. If you are not close to a farm supply store then yes, order it on line.

Thanks, all!

Got mine from eBay...Before that Southern States feed and seed store has it. Has to be food grade.

We have a local pet store that carries it here, but they'll ship it to you:

It's food grade.

Definitely ask your feed store to order it for you. Mine doesn't keep it in stock but will order it. Love that stuff. A fifty lb. sack lasts me at least 6 mo.
