I was thinking that DE was dangerous to all of the little critters in the garden good and bad. If I'm wrong that is good. I did look it up a bit and didn't see any one way or the other.rainbowgardener wrote:That's what I thought too when I saw the damage. Try sprinkling diatomaceous earth around your plants...
I did notice that it is like 80% silica. If it is safe to use I'm a bricklayer\mason and my lungs are filled with silica. I could just cough on my plants and they will do great.

I have read about slugs/snails and how to keep em away, I have been usin the egg shel tecnique crumbling them and placin them around plants, hav't seen that many slugs/snails about, I jus visited a garden centre yesterday and I was told slug pellets are the best way to get rid of them and keep them away
