Where can I order food grade DE?

[PuffMommy]

not sure if this is the right place to post this...i know i saw it somewhere on this site but can't find it. my local feed store does not sell food grade. i'm planning on using the deep litter method (with DE), however, i just read today that the deep litter method should not be used in small yards (near neighbors) due to the smell and that i should just clean the coop out every week. i guess this has become two questions now - thanks in advance for your help!

Just ordered mine today! Custommilling.com. $23ish for the DE, $26ish for the shipping to Texas.

If you use deep litter and keep it dry there is no smell.

I get my food grade DE from dirtworks.net I only use permaguard brand.

MissPrissy, you can get DE cheaper at CustomMilling. Check out the site. I pay with shipping 45.56 for a 50# bag including shipping.

I sell Codex Food Grade DE in 3,5 and 8 pounds if you do not want to go the 50# route. 15.30 - 18.30 and 22.30 respectively. Prices INCLUDE Priority Mail with 2 to 3 day delivery time.

I tried that. Custom Milling did not carry PermaGuard brand up here and the bag I was delivered in no way said codex grade or food grade DE. I sent it back. Not worth the effort to fool with them again. I only use PermaGuard brand.

MissPrissy, I just went and checked mine and it is PermaGuard Codex Food Grade DE, they might have changed the brand they are selling.
