OMG Black Widows... another few days for the bug guy

Wow, that's weird. One of the first articles i ever found about it was about it being used in cow feed. (Which i stumbled upon wen researching what exactly the U.S. feeds cows.) (DE makes for MANY less flies around dairy farms and such.)

We get ours from a tiny local farm supply store.

I suggest looking up a few brands and either writing to them or calling and asking where they distribute to. (I just looked and the first brand we bought was Glorious Gardens and the second brand was Concern.)

I found this link where they talk about where to find it as well as other aspects... http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/...010216853.html

but I have looked high and low - here and there for diatomaceous earth and I can't find it anywhere.
my dad whose been a farmer all is adult life and worked at an elevator for about 8 years had no clue what it was.
and his manager didn't know what it was.
I've seen stuff with it in it at tractor supply but never a bag that I could buy.

thanks - I'll look into it more

If that means that the DE is in cows does that mean we are eating too? why am I still getting eaten alive by mosquitoes?!

LOL! I wish it worked like that.
