Where Can I Find Diatomaceous Earth?

You might try calling garden centers and seeing if they carry it .. organic gardeners use if .

I'll do that and maybe next time I can avoid that shipping cost!

I found mine at an Organic Garden supply. They consistently have it on hand versus some of the feed places having to order it in. It is reasonably priced around $25 for a 40lb bag. It lasts for a good while.

Good luck,
Bill

LOL...well you may not get a chance to order differently "next time." That bag will probably last you until infinity

I think I paid $29 for a 50lb bag, so your shipping wasn't as much as what I figured it would be... Seriously...that bag will probably last you a few years with 6 chickens. I haven't made a dent in the bag I bought 4 months ago.

Im paying something like 17.00 for a 25lb bag, and I have 30 in my flock and also use it on my dogs!!! Im not even putting a dent into the bag!!!!

Oh man! It doesn't expire or anything does it?
If not I guess I am set!

I coudlnt find an expiration date on my bag at all....but good question. Infact today I bathed my dogs and Im waiting on them to dry to put them on the dogs...dust them with it...kills fleas, by drying them out when it comes in contact with them...from the inside out. So far so good, its new to me trying it on them, I read on it.

I order mine from " Shadow Ridge " at ths website - http://www.shadowridgedonkeys.com/ds_pg_cart.htm I have been satisfied with it. It does it's job. Mainly for me it's keeping the odor down since my pens are only about 50 feet from the back door.

DE is composed of FOSSILIZED shells, so age wont hurt it too much.
It's millions of years old when you buy it "fresh"​
