    That is a` great story. Have you noticed the boric acid suppress anything, other than a few African Love Grass leaves, or is it purely the boost from the boron.

    We are starting to see a buildup of AFG in native pastures. We have been trying to sow multi-species mixes into natives dominated by a “red grass” that has a allelopathic effect on most other species around it. Our successes have been limited. We tried a light cultivation with limited success. In desperation we tried glyphosate. We have been getting a lot of rain and the red grass is coming back, and we can’t get on to plant.

    If the boric acid can do a job I would much prefer to go down that line.
