So your lawn needs some boron? The good thing is, this is an easy one and something you only really have to do 1 or 2x per year. We aren't usually fans of taking store-bought products and using them in the lawn, but this one is tried and true and one of Allyn's little secrets he likes to share with us. If you go to any grocery store detergent aisle, pick up some 20-Mule-Team Borax.
From Allyn:
My Grandma, mom, and wife have used Borax as a laundry "enhancer" for years and these days it is enjoying a nice boost in sales from the "I want to use safe, non-toxic cleaners" crowd because it's very natural. For us, it's a great source of boron for our lawns.
Mix 1 tablespoon of Borax into 1 gallon of water, stir it up well and spray this across 1,000 sq ft of lawn space. This will be enough boron for a good 6 months. Repeat this one or two times per year and you are all set. We have found that dissolving the Borax in warm water first helps make it easier to spray out with less residual grit.
After applying this be sure to water it in with at least 1/4" of water or rainfall.

Since we have recommended a liquid application here, it will be a good idea to review pump sprayer training through the 2 videos below:
