    About this ebook

    When looking to decrease caustic chemicals around house and yard, very few substances aid in this process better than diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous Earth (also known as DE) is fossilized remains of tiny aquatic hard-shelled algae called diatoms in powdered form. This substance can be used in numerous ways around the house and yard as a relatively safe substitute for caustic chemicals. Discover how others have used diatomaceous earth in many ways including as an insect barrier around your home, an insecticide against biting insects, a moisture control agent, a polishing agent, and in detoxing the body.
