Thanks Melody

And now I know that I can use DE. I don't have much freezer space so this

is great news!

Well, I just got an education on DE. I went to youtube and typed in:

diatomaceous earth and some videos came up and I chose this one. The video was

interesting but WHAT WAS MORE INTERESTING, were the comments underneath the

video. Holy Cow!! The person doing the video should have explained it better.

If you use DE, do be sure to get FOOD GRADE! It is also sold in pool supply and

animal supply/pet supply places, but if you intend to use it in your dry goods,

make sure you get food grade!! Big difference in the two.

right to you.

Maybe someone on one of those you tubes will say the word.
