Greg....Is this it?
Buy Diatomaceous Earth to kill fleas, ticks, bed bugs and parasites naturally

Perma-Guard, (Fossil Shell Flour) Feed Grade Diatomaceous Earth

Perma-Guard Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is totally organic and safe.
It contains less than 1% percent of Crystallin Silica.
Some of the uses for Diatomaceous Earth include; household pets, gardens, flower beds, field crops, grain storage, and livestock feeding.
Diatomaceous Earth is Mother Nature's product with no harm to the environment, pets or to people.
Diatomaceous Earth is not an earth, it is the fossilized remains of microscopic shells created by one celled plants called DIATOMS.
Diatomaceous Earth kills by physical action, not chemical, by puncturing the insect's exoskeleton and absorbing the moisture in their bodies. It desiccates the bugs.

Yep that's it. it is about 50 cents a pound in 50 pound bags and a few places have it with free shipping - I think the place I ordered it from is call portfords but you can find it at other places - maybe TSC and other rural outlets may have it.

So we just had the second thunderstorm of the day..potatoes laid down and took a rest after the first one but are perky again. Yesterday my exhuberant hubby decided to cut down the tree that drips sap in the driveway and on the deck..he got it cleaned up today and is snoozing in his chair. I got the task of cleaning up the deck..getting that ooze off diminished the fly population about 150%! Got the new micro/convection/range hood installed this morning and made bread in the convection oven..neato!!! It's got this neat cool down feature and it doesn't heat up the kitchen on a summer day. Haven't even had to turn on the AC today.

But he NEEDS to go back to work...he's working my buns to death!!! *lol*
