See the below article for further information. This grade is .2mm to 6mm and is a coarse grade form of Diatomaceous Earth. You can make it finer by putting it inside a zip lock bag and rolling it with a rolling pin. But this won't give your the super fine grade that is achieved in the commercial process. It is still good enough to use on your garden for pest control and plant growth or storing seeds as it retains moisture keeping your seeds dry and pest free the organic way.SKU: DE10

What is Diatomaceous Earth?
Diatomaceous Earth 10kgs can be added to any order of Compots or posted anytime without Compots. I usually only stock the course grade but it is currently not availble. The Diatomite Fines is a fine powder, tricky to pack and more expensive. The course grade that can be crushed to a finer grade by putting it in a plastic bag and rolling over it with a rolling pin. It won’t get to a super fine grade but is good enough for bug control or seed saving. If ordering Compots it is cheaper to add 300grams of product to your order rather than buying it separately as the weight does not change the postage rate of your parcel. It is also cheaper postage wise to purchase a bucket or box of Garden Supplements with your order of Compots rather than 300grams only.
However 500g is a good quantity for crushing to a finer powder for seed saving or propagating some seeds as it releases Boron into the soil aiding germination. You can purchase several garden supplements to try the products before you buy large quantities. I f you find the postage excessive it may not be calculating properly so fill out a custom quote form instead. You might want to use this option to try several different products before buying larger quantities. Also fill in a custom quote form if you require a certain size so I can see if I can obtain it for you. Email your preference here

More About Direct Compost Solutions
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn't suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden.
