Diatomaceous Earth

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

DE: This isn't the cure all everyone says, but it is almost that good. 
However, if it gets moist at all, it loses it's grit properties. Mix it 
with a little flour to improve 'stick to it'ness' and a little longer 
lasting. And prepare to reapply often, just don't choke out the plant from 
getting any other nutrient via the leaves.
I'm still trying to figure out how it works so well on intestinal parasites 
if it loses it's oomph when wet. And if it does work that well, how does it 
keep from killing earthworms or harming the intestine of animals that are 
fed on it.
I still put it in my goat milk soap, even if I'm unsure how stable it stays 
when wet.
