Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a naturally occurring soft sedimentary rock that is crumbled into a fine white powder.

How does DE work in your garden?

It works at killing insects because the microscopic particles are very sharp and as an insect crawls over it, it gets cut.
It also can stick to the insect causing it to dry out.
It is very effective against slugs, beetles, worms, fleas, mites, spiders, and MORE!
It is completely NON-TOXIC! Why? Because it harms insects physically, and not chemically. It is very safe for your garden.

💡IMPORTANT: Please remember to wear a mask as to avoid breathing in the tiny dust particles.
