Last week I posted about posted about organic and natural pest control methods; everything from ladybugs to homemade bug spray. But I didn’t discuss one safe and natural pest control method that works really well: diatomaceous earth (DE). DE is a chalk-like dust made from the fossilized remains of algae. It is totally safe for humans, animals and plants, but it is very bad for bugs.
Check out this video about how to use DE made by Garden Girl Patti Moreno:
