A 'cheap' substitute for DE

I've never used Diatomaceous Earth, but have had great success with crushed
eggshells. I rinse the shells and chuck them in a bucket under my kitchen
sink, and when they are dry, I crush them into a course powder. Sprinkle
around your plants. I've had terrific success with this method, and in effect,
costs nothing! Good luck!
