Where to buy DE??

[davidr]

I have been trying to locate some food grade DE to spread on the pine shavings.

When I ask at the local feed stores they look at me like I have 2 heads.

Need a recomendation of where to buy. on-line or a walk in store.

Thanx,

David

Is there a local grain elevator? Ours sells it by the pound. Good luck!

Good price? yes/no?

There's a place near me that has it for $32.00 a bag, it is the shipping that kills you!

google GOLDEN BLEND GROUP and see if they have a rep in your area, I paid $20.00 for 50 lbs, but I picked it up at the flea market since the rep sold food for exotic animals like emos,and other birds. marrie

I found Golden Blend their website is www.custommilling.com

With shipping a 50 lb. bag is around $50.00

I don't think I'm going to find a better price.

Thanx,
