What is Diatomaceous Earth?
Diatomaceous Earth, known as diatomite or food-grade DE, is derived from diatoms, single-celled organisms. It works by trapping crawling insects on its sharp edges without altering plant growth or soil pH. Diatomaceous earth is the ultimate organic alternative to using chemical pesticides in your garden.
