<<<As everyone has stated, you can get DE from your feed mill or Tractor
Supply store, usually. Cost is depends on there availability. You will
see different prices from different areas. If the feed mill does a lot
of mixing, they may use it in some of their customers feed recipes.
Also, gardeners use DE in there gardens. Call around, they should have
it locally. They carry it here at Fleet Farm now which is real
convenient for pickup. >>>
My Tractor Supply did not have nor order it for me. None of my feed
stores had it - didn't even know what it was. If you are going to
gardeners or building supply make double darn sure it is food grade and
NOT for use in pools.
Susan's price set me up for a bad case of sticker shock To get it
around here (GA) I had to pay about $1.# as I recall. I got my feed
store to order it for me and that was less than ordering online and
paying shipping; but still it was close to $50 for 50#.
I wish I could find a feed mill. There are none listed in the phone
book and I don't know any real farmers left in this area so don't have
anyone to ask, I am sure there must be one around here; wish I could
find them; I would like to get some bulk grain as well.
Warmly, Janice
PS I don't think DE would help much with odor control. I have been
using since late winter to help with the fly problem and frankly I can't
see that it has made one bit of difference. I have gone back to fly
traps, but still am feeding the DE to fowl and pacas....just because I
have it and hope it does something beneficial
