Diatomaceous Earth applicator.

I have searched high and low for a proper garden duster with no luck so I am trying something new with applying DE.  I saw a large plastic Johnson’s Baby Powder bottle in our bathroom that was almost empty.  I popped the lid off and cleaned it out (washing and drying).  I put in about 300 grams of DE and started dusting things……so far so good.  The first photo is the new bottle and the old shaker type I had to use before.  The next 3 photos are some new zucchini plants before, during, and after dusting.  For dogs and cats you will need to rub it in, but chickens and quail with dust themselves thoroughly in a dust bath.  For any animal dust where they sleep or nest.  Also, make sure nobody uses the DE after a shower and better yet not to let your wife know you stole the bottle.  It wouldn’t hurt them but DE can be messy when wet.  I would use it myself for head lice.
