Yes, I have used it. I added it to soil as a rock powder and I also dusted
potato beetle larvae with it. I couldn't "see" the difference it made to the
soil, but I did notice that it killed the CPB larvae pretty well if you got
it on them early in the morning, every morning. I was able to knock back a
heavy population without recourse to anything else.
