[Pil-pc-oceania] Ant infestation

[David Arnold]

the commercial ant-rid product is just boron in sweet solution.  treegrowers
often need to supplement the amount of boron in their soil, especially as
boron availability is reduced by application of lime.  i have put boron on
my trees here previously, and need to do so again.

bulk ant-rid can be made with Boron dissolved in hot water with honey
