DE is Diatomaceous Earth, which is ground up fossilised algae. It is used to repel worms I think? Don't think it has an effect on smell but I am just not sure as I haven't used it. To keep smell down I use garden lime or dolomite lime, which is ground up limestone. I sprinkle it on the bedding or on the dirt - a few good handfuls per square yard.

I just use the..... "well you are always gone so I have to have something to do besides sit around. Maybe if you were home I wouldn't get so bored" Then he gives in and lets me have them.
