DE is crushed oyster shell flour,the little chars left cut them bugs up mainly worms,it is a organic choice,but when apply dont go whole hog and make soil look like snow,rather sprinkle on lightly,you can even put it on your leaves lightly,i dont but you can with a bad infestion,i prefer not using it on indoor soil in containers,seems even top scratched in after a while it gets like a sand layer in the soil,but does very well at what it is supose to do.
by the way de is a source of calcium too
i KNOW it's NOT crushed oyster shells...... it's some form of silica from diatoms which idk micro bug ?..... a little bit made my worms evacuate - dead in saucer. Fine to mix into chicken food to kill / prevent parasites . My intuition thinks bad for worms and good for chickens = bad for microbes ?????????
lOOking for a more geeky answer that's for sure . Good for stems tho idk where i got that or if its true.
ONLY thing i'm sure of is DON'T breath it !
DE is fossilized diatoms, microscopic organisms. And no it will not kill mycos. It kills bugs because on a microscopic level, its sharp and cuts their exoskeleton so they dry out and die. Has no effect on fungal or bacterial populations.

Wellllllllll assuming the additive to chicken feed for parasites ?????? must work WET too inside the dang chicken . Then there's the available silica for stem strength ? uhhhhhh mixed into soil or watered in WET right ? Haha clear as mud to me...................... Not jerkin your chain...................... no doubt to be effective as a flying or crawling bug killer DRY powder dusting on top the target area IS the optimum application . totally no argument thereDoes not work when wet, most folks I know top dress the medium with it.
well i obviousely cant read a label myself seeing how i just bought a 50lb bag of crushed oyster shell flour 4 months ago and represented as dem hell i cant spell the shit,not geeky enough yet but working on it,did get it cheap though 12 bucks for 50 lbs,like magic all slugs ,bore worms,snails and grubs,seen the white light and just went to neighbors yard i guess,damn grass hoppers didnt even like it must have thought the fixing to enter the salt plains of arizonia or were ever that salt flat is,im just not geeky yet,just a flat lander,wonder how long this supply of fossils will last seeing it not oysters now,my dumb ass even thought oysters are so good for stanima maybe if would give my beenies a hard on ,damn you learn something new every day ,fell for that false advertising again,but hey im blaming this big scrath on my trifocal lenses not science my mistake hahahahah.I'm going to go with it's good .........> Cause I got some before seeing this and applyed to my vegs to see how they do before I hit the bitch's
so now I read a little goes a long way....>>>>>>>>>>>> my stuff looks like it snowed in there LOL >>>>>>>>>>>>> rolling the dice and moving on lol

Then this microscopic jagged stuff won't hurt microscopic microbial bennies just big fat worms ? EITHER in soil or a chicken's inerds ........... just bad stuff ??????? not the good guys ->There's where my inquiring mind hits a snag....... Amazing it's touted as a feed additive for chickens - obviously not bad for them . Throw it in the coop to control mites .... wow magic stuff
and IS IT a useful pennies VS expensive rhino or whatever breeder rec'd / associated or snazzy marketing packaged SILICA for stem health / strength ? Which beyond the non toxic ( (( AS LONG AS YOU DON'T BREATHE IT ))) makes this simple RELATIVELY C H E A P dust a BEST KEPT secret !!
Bad for bad bugs , doesn't hurt bennies , makes stems strong and so cheap it's almost free ????????? Sounds too good to be true right ? That's the kicker LOL........the reason i'd like to hear a microbe guy - the geeky , educated explanation of safe for bennies..... I can understand HOW a fan makes stems stronger , or HOW a cooler or dryer enviroment can eliminate fungus gnats ..........
Just can't wrap my head around don't worry about the bennies.......... USUALLY if something is too good to be true........... Who HERE is the indo /exo microbe guy ........$hitz and giggles like to hear THAT amen
Dude who peed in your cherrios ? leave the 15 second link if you're so inclined or think i haven't .You could do a 15 second google search and find the answers yourself.
Personally, if EC and PPM are beyond your ken, I doubt a scientific explanation from the indo /exo microbe guy is going to do you much good either.
Then again, what do I know? I'm just some guy who's been growing in a closet for 30 years.
You do you baby. You go you.
