Description

Gaia Green Diatomaceous Earth

Gaia Green Diatomaceous Earth is a naturally occurring sedimentary rock, consisting of fossilized remains of diatoms – silica rich, single-celled algae. Specifically, this soil amendment encourages retention of water and nutrients, while draining freely and allowing high oxygen circulation within the growing medium.

Gaia Green Diatomaceous Earth can be used as an insecticide. For example, Diatomaceous earth works to get rid of insects such as: Aphids, Thrips, Ants, Mites, Earwigs, Bedbugs, Adult Flea Beetles, Cockroaches, Snails, as well as Slugs. Additionally, to these insects, diatomaceous earth is a lethal dust with microscopic sharp edges that cut through their protective covering and dries them out. Furthermore, one of the benefits of diatomaceous earth for insect control is that the insects have no way to build up a resistance to it, which can’t be said for many chemical control insecticides. It is important to note that diatomaceous earth will not harm the worms or any of the beneficial microorganisms in the soil.

BENEFITS
