Diatomaceous Earth

I guess I'll ask this here because it's regarding the chickens but does anyone in Ontario have a certain place to buy DE? I found a place down near Niagara Falls that sells food grade DE which I was told must be used around animals. They ship so I could order it.
I sure miss this forum. My home Internet rarely works and I can get on here with my iPhone but it's not convenient to browse and type with!

We miss you too, Truckinguy! I sure hope your Internet situation improves.

I know you can get DE from Homestead Organics, near Ottawa. They have distributors through much of the province. Here's the link to their website:

Ewwww... they've changed their website a lot and it is difficult to navigate. You might be better off phoning them if you want to check it out: 613-984-0480

Thanks, Maggie, interesting site. The other site I found is Agrogreen down near Niagara Falls. I like organic growing sites.
Hopefully I'll get better Internet service in the future but it's not in the budget at the moment.

We've been with Tech-Savvy for about a year for phone and internet. Much cheaper than Ma Bell.

I'm with 3web which works fine but my phone line is very poor so it affects the dialup. New Internet isn't in the budget at the moment.
