What is it and can it be purchased at a place such as Agway? Does anyone on this site sell Diatomaceous Earth? I read it was good for killing caterpillars. Is that true? Thanks in advance.

The amount you would need to apply on a giant pumpkin patch would be to costly.

Actually it is not for the pumpkin patch, it is for an apple tree that the caterpillars almost ruined on me this past spring. Ed, Good reading. It explained enough to me, thanks.
