Wait...Borax has a good effect on crops? Do you have any links?

There was an agriculture exhibit years ago where a boron poor field in the Midwest was given borax in a design that popped out in a couple weeks after application.

And I'd reiterate that boron should not be taken unless you need it. Like colloidal silver it may have cult following. Possibly a real doctor could weigh in. The Ag guy I met once when we were picking up Sul-po-mag at a railway stop in Vermont was Fred Franklin, not old, was there with wife and kids. Next thing I heard he'd died due to boron excess.

Interesting about that field! And, yes, I’m very careful about anything I put into my body. But, I do like learning about new uses for common things...even if it turns out I never have need of using it in that manner. Know what I mean?
