Hey Mouse, I understand more or less the components, benefits for the plants, and care with diatomaceous earth. But I would like someone to specifically clarify the difference in use with plants between the 2 types of diatomaceous earth available on the market. While the calcined one presents some risks for people... Is there a difference when applying it to the plants? Between calcined diatomaceous earth and food-grade diatomaceous earth? Or do they work the same way? I'm currently using it preventively.
