DE as a wormer
What brand of DE does everyone use? I've seen two types at our local store, with one costing $54 and the other $20. Both bags are approximately the same size. Does it really matter? Both bags have the same info on them, just different brands.

Being the Dutchman I am, I stuck with the $20/ bag. I think red lake earth was one, but can't remember the other. Store manager uses the more expensive one for his sheep, and himself.

I use red lake earth. Don't pay $54/bag though.
