I just won a 20kg bag on ebay for $40 + $15 postage!!! I figured, I can't go too wrong for that price, and it's food grade fresh water DE, mined in Australia, so fingers crossed it's ok, looks like I'll never run out of DE The guy has just started selling those bags, he's got a number of them listed, I let you know if the seller is trustworthy and if it's any good once I've used it.

that's great to hear it works so well! I hope the seller on ebay is ok, he said he would send my bag two days ago, which is later than he claimed he would in the description, but still hasn't marked the product "sent". Fingers crossed he is just inexperienced, he just started selling on ebay, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

Wow, that sounds fantastic, I'm going to order some too. And Trev, we have lots of Cape lilac trees in the paddock and over the cattle yards, and always have plague like infestations of the moths and caterpillars, they even come in the house so it will hopefully clean them up as well.

fluffychook, I contacted the seller and asked if he'd sell some more DE on ebay, and this was his reply:
hi there,
yes we are just getting a batch of smaller bags 1,2 and 5kgs done so the postage is more reasonable!!
hopefully they should be ready to go next week
thanks

Hi lazym, I got my 5kg bag of D/E from Green Harvest in Maleny Qld. They sent it the day I ordered it and was here in 4 days. Have to order more as I'm nearly out. Use it on all my animals and birds and us humans too! Fantastic product...Completely safe and non toxic and we're all feeling great. Have to see if I can get larger quantity next time. Thought you might be interested in a peek at this American site that gives an excellent description of it's endless applications. www.earthworkshealth.com/
