What do you guys keep DE in?

[kuntrychick]

I finally ordered some DE and received it Saturday. The thing is...this 50 # bag is HUGE and hard to handle.

What do y'all keep it in?

I did put some in a clean butter bowl with a lid to keep in the kitchen for me to start taking it.

I have a few more similar size containers around to keep some in for household use...the dogs and cats, litter box, carpets, etc.

But, for the chicken coop, I want to keep some separately that I'll use in their dust bath (play sand and DE) and in the coop pine shavings.

So, what do y'all keep yours in to keep from having to handle the big huge bag?

I put the bag down in a garbage can with wheels and then just scoop out what I need. The sealable lid keeps the DE dry. I've had it out there for months with no problems.

Good luck!

The bakery department at your grocery store gets icing in 5 gallon buckets with nice lid that I get for free. Just ask.
