Try adding rice to the shaker so that it breaks the clumps as it is shaken. My family has been doing it for years in our salt shaker because in humid conditions salt tends to clump up

Thank you so much for that tip Mr. Sheffield, I just ordered some DE and ill be dusting my entire home from floor to ceiling - perhaps not as I also have several aquariums. On the compost front, I get that we all have our preferred mixes, I found a compost that is more as an amendment rather than the cheap multipurpose compost, and I amend it further with coco coir and perlite and it seems to work for me. And even before I found this type of compost I have never experienced bad smells. I fought the fungus gnats off with neem oil rather successfully. And I'm hopping that the DE will help with spider mites, thrips and mealy bugs, cos I'm also pulling my hair out as I have tried almost everything I can think off. I will try an area with the spray bottle and another area with the brush, both as you suggested 🙂 Once again, thank you

I didn't know there was a powdered version but I have used the chalk form. I have been using it for keeping ants out of places they shouldn't go, but it doesn't seem last to long. A small amount of moisture seems to nullify the effect for me and I have to redraw the barrier. Now I want to try out this powdered version!

Hi, I have an ant problem as well. The powder won't be any different from the chalk. It's light and powdery it blows away on the wind, so you need to reapply. Also get a spray bottle of peppermint or lavender Essential oil and spray the trails to and from the hill an hour or so before using the DE. The ants don't like those scents and will avoid them.

Here are the cons, some of which were covered, some not: DE is NOT to be breathed in: people need to heed the warning about that. Those who swear by it's use are also the ones that swore it makes a great de-wormer when given to animals, which it does not. As mentioned, it is porous and absorbs water. Once wet, it expands and the sharp shards disintegrate, rendering it worthless from that moment on. It has to be re-applied in gardening after rain and the same applies to any situation where it gets wet. DO NOT use this on velvet leaves: it will be a nightmare to get completely off. It is a messy nightmare to get off anything. It turns to a clay like mush when wet and dries in clumps. The clumps can be broken up into powder again, but why bother? The effectiveness is gone. There are lots of "old wives tales" out there that people "swear by." They are hit or miss at best. .

I've been using diatomaceous earth on my plants for over a year. I put it in an old spice sprinkler for easy application. But you should tap the bottom of the container to get it out. It really works! Warning: it only works on top of the medium if it's dry. Once wet, it's not helpful and gums up. Second Warning: it's dehumidifying. My humidity drops from the sixties to the forties inside of an hour when I reapply it to my more humidity loving plants.

Thanks for mentioning this. I use a mixture of neem oil, Castile soap and warm water to spray the plant leaves regularly.

The best thing I found to distribute my diatomaceous earth is I took a bottle of baby powder and emptied the contents and filled the container up with the diatomaceous earth. It posted out in a dust that's really fine and it keeps you from being able to actually see it as much because it only takes a little to shred those little boogers to pieces. Hope this helps

Hopefully I won't have to deal with these pests again, but if I do, I'll give this a try. Last time, I was showering the living hell of out my plants.. which eventually worked, but it took a lot of persistence.

This looks great but doesn't it suffocate the plant? They say to always wipe down the leaves and clean your windows because even the smallest bits of dust and smudges can cut down on your plants health?

I mentioned to not leave it on the leaves as a long term preventative. Just use it on the leaves when there's an outbreak

You apply way too much in your vid. Only a dusting is needed, like the amount that collects on undusted furniture. In the States, many Amazon sellers include an atomizer that makes a cloud of diatomaceous earth. Use one outside to apply. Then bring plant back inside...

I've used it for years in my garden; love the stuff. I've found the best way to apply it is to put it in a squeeze bottle with a cap with holes so that I can sprinkle over or puff under. Indoors, maybe do it in the shower so the dust doesn't get everywhere? Be sure not to inhale it or get it in your eyes!!!
