Mister 500,000
I'm moving next week and I have about 50 boxes of DE left and I don't want to toss them so if you ever wanted to try it now is your chance. $5 is below cost.
$23 total per large flat rate box
*Non-calcined DE will break down in 1 growing season so some brands on the market will harm your trees!
Bonsai artist Ryan Neil (who is the leading professional using DE with bonsai) states that Diatomaceous Earth is the #1 substitute for akadama. In my opinion it's better for the following reasons: 1) It's cheaper, 2) better water retention, 3) better oxygen retention, 4) better CEC (cation exchange capacity which in basic terms is the ability to hold nutrients).
The size range on this product is as follows:
3/8” ............................................................................. 0.0%
4 Mesh ........................................................................ 90.0%
6 Mesh ....................................................................... 98.0%
The majority is larger than 1/4". Very little dust.
I love this size of DE! I use it in my mix for all trees in development. My mix is 50% course DE, 40% 1/4" scoria (lava), and 10% sifted bark. I get excellent results with this mix. The majority of this product is 1/4" or larger.
You are buying about 3.5 gallons of sifted DE (the amount that ships in a large flat-rate box). Please note that this price is limited to stock on hand as I am selling at cost plus expenses for boxing.
