Can you spray diatomaceous earth?

Is it true you carry food grade “Diatomaceous earth” to mix with water and spray on your plants to control certain pests?

Russ –

I have heard of spraying DE on plants… but have no experience doing so myself. Add 1/4 cup per gallon of water and apply to areas where pests are present.

Yes, all of our Diatomeceous Earth is Food Grade (see links).
