Re: Boron

Yeah, it's neither narrow-minded nor arbitrary. Can I be blunt here? I just took a new job. I'm trying to absorb a stack of curricula 15 times taller than I am, and that's just for starters. Even if I weren't, we all have lives and stuff to do. We don't have time to research every soil test out the...

I've tried a few herbicides, but it is difficult to control (a few spot applications of pylex finally killed one test spot). It has a flat white stem and few hairs along the t...
