Hey everyone I have some diatomaceous earth but I'm a bit confused in terms of its usage. I do know it can be used as a top dressing to discourage pest infestations, but I have also heard of it being used as a soil ammendment in order to raise the silica content of the soil and to obviously have broad pest resistance around all the roots.
I've been looking around to try and find general application rates for mixing it into soil but I can't really find any solid information.
So my questions are as follows:
Has anyone used Diatomaceous Earth in a soil mix?
What are the general application rates per gallon or per cubic ft?
Is it worth mixing in or is it a waste of time?
Has anyone had any problems with Diatomaceous Earth and nutrient availability?
