Does anyone have experience using Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) in their garden? Was considering it for some of my eggplants and peppers, but I know too it might kill helpful bugs… is it fine if I don’t put it on flowers?

Wondering the same. I got some for prevention for my alocasias against spider mites and haven’t used it yet out of fear. So if anyone knows how to use it please comment
