Wow, im suprised no one has mentioned the dangers of DE. It is commonly used in pools as a compliment to the filters. It is, as i understand it, the skeletons of microorganisms. It is dangerous to your health, especially your lungs. If you decide to use this do so with a bit of caution and wear a mask. Breathing this stuff in is like breathing in miniature razor blades that will cut up your lungs. Like i said i have only used it with pools, but what i have used has been pure DE.
DE is all around good stuff. Powered or chuncked mixed in the soil and/or a top dressing of chunky. IMO, I would not use the DE shown in your picture. Just to be on the safe side, get the food grade DE from a feed store (50lbs $15). The chunky stuff is avail at NAPA under the name of floor dry part# 8822.
Food grade i beleive but im not so certain id bet my life on.So am I right in thinking that DE granules sold as "Soil Improvement" is food grade? Or does this fall under "Pool Grade"?
On a bag of D.E it says food grade right on it. Don't use anything that doesn't say food grade safe for humans and pets, period!So am I right in thinking that DE granules sold as "Soil Improvement" is food grade? Or does this fall under "Pool Grade"?
