The other type is generally for use in swimming pools and not the same product as food grade DE. I buy my supply online from http://www.gardenharvestsupply.com. Thanks for doing your part!
In reply to - Lane R. commented on the blog post Natural and Safer Alternatives To Flea Control Is it true that when you use diatomaceous earth around animals, you should use food-grade DE?
