Do you know which places carry Napa 8822? Haven't been able to find it in Florida.
Have you checked with your local Napa auto stores? Most if not all Napa auto stores carry it in my area.

I never thought they had them in my area but now that I look, there's a ton nearby. I guess NAPA is just one of those stores I never noticed existed when there's places like autozone and oreilly's around. Thanks.

I just went into my local napa and they ordered it in for the next shipment. I assume it's something that's mostly to order because they actually had a different kind of floor dry in stock.

I’m finally getting a little desperate for soil components during this quarantine so I picked up two bags of the EP Minerals oil absorbent DE.

Here it is at right, wetted and unsifted, compared to old coarse particles from the Down to Earth brand. I think the left particles are the same grade as Axis coarse.

Down to Earth had definitely screened out all of the particle sizes at right.

Hey @sorceI have a few things going with @milehigh_7 DE Have not reported yet to see root growth but overall happy with plant growth. The trees seem to take a bit longer to acclimate to the larger size DE but when they do they take off. I have a couple in straight DE with a minimal amount of root ball dirt left on. I will update when I report still a bit warm down this way.
