in NZ we can get it through farm merchants in bulk lots (10/20/30
kg bags).
Works out cheap though the bag last ages. I guess Aus farm
merchants would sell it as well.


Why would anyone need such big bags? What else is it used for?


Boron deficient soil. It's an important trace element but you'd need
a lot of land and to be growing lots of cabbages in boron deficient
soil.


And getting those mongrel ants. I'll have to suspend operations for a week
though, there's some big rain coming in.


Surely that would be enough to annihilate the whole race of ants. Unless of
course you have giant mutant ants of some sort.
