Thanks for the reminder, Jim. I'm going to use the 36 cell trays and have cut coffee filters to put on the bottom of each cell. Yeah, the bottom holes are quite large for the DE.

I was very lucky to have mentioned my proposed purchase and a friend gave me a card for $10 off $20, so I really bought 50 lbs. for $13 including tax.

The particle size is not a powder, but very small(er) sized particles. Thanks for the OK to use this non-name brand stuff!
