Here is a link to where I have bought my Diatomaceous Earth. It includes some good info on what types of insects it will control. The first on the list is flea beetles.

Diatomaceous Earth

My eggplants have been attacked every year by something and I assume it is flea beetles. They get over into my peppers also (small shot holes in the leaves).

They must do their work at night because I have never seen one!

So, do you sprinkle (spray) this on the soil, on the leaves, where? Then, does it just wash off before you eat the veggie?

Most of the artical sounds like it is mostly used as a flea powder on animals.

This year the freeze warnings seem to be contained within a certain household in Tennessee.

I just caught that. You are naughty, naughty this week, especially with the announcement this AM about Karenna Gore Schiff's impending divorce! ;-)
