I may go back and get some for my fall starts, it's getting close to time to think about things like celery, artichokes and maybe Brussels.
The UltraSorb is the DE product, AutoZone sells it in a 15lb bag. AutoZone also sells the Moltan clay absorbents in 8lb and 33lb bags, you don't want those.

It's interesting to see what seedlings work best in DE, I suspect some will do better than others, although my experiments with onions, tomatoes and peppers turned out well, my basil is not working out well in the DE for some reason.
