Two Spoons of Borax Eliminate ANY Garden Pest Forever... The Trick They Tried to BURY

🔗 Save $6,000 A Year with My Complete Amish Home-Saving Method I teach: https://eliasyoder.com There is a little box that has sat in American cupboards for over a hundred and thirty years, the plain borax, a couple dollars at any store, and most folks use it for the laundry and never know the half of what it can do. For that same cheap box of white powder is one of the most useful things a gardener and a homesteader can keep on hand, good against a whole host of pests and troubles about the garden and home, and the old people leaned on it hard. I keep up this Lancaster County place and garden with my own hands, the way my people always have, and borax has been on our shelf my whole life. My mother used it at the kitchen sink against the ants, my father around the milkhouse, my grandmother on the cellar walls. But mind me close, for borax is a kind of salt, and a little does good while a lot does harm. You measure it in level spoons, never heaping, and keep it from children and pets. Used with that plain care, it does the work of a whole shelf of dear bottles for pennies. Here is what I walk you through in this one: ✓ The sweet ant bait that the workers carry home to kill the whole hidden colony ✓ A dry ring of borax that slugs and snails will not cross ✓ Worked into the carpet to break the flea cycle without the dear exterminator ✓ Mixed with flour or sugar to finish off cockroaches in the hidden corners ✓ A measured spoon of boron to feed tomatoes and beets and apples (and the firm warning never to overdo it) ✓ Brushed on bare wood to protect posts and beams from termites and carpenter ants ✓ An oil-and-borax spray that brings back squash and cucumber from powdery mildew ✓ Poured into the cracks of paths and driveways to clear the weeds, kept well off your beds ✓ A band of it that turns mice away from the shed and the feed bins ✓ Scrubbed onto cellar walls and shady siding to clear mold and mildew ✓ And the painted trunk band that stops the worm in your apples before it ever climbs Eleven uses, pennies apiece, from a box already under your sink. And remember the one rule over all of them, measure in level spoons, keep it from the children and pets, and respect that borax is a salt that does good in a little and harm in a lot. Tell me in the comments below, what pest or trouble is winning the war in your garden this year, the slugs, the squash bugs, the ants, the worm in the apple, and which of these uses will you try. And tell me your county and your climate, because the pests differ greatly across the country, and I like to map it by where you all write from. I read every one. Next time, I want to show you what a single cup of plain wood ash from the wood stove does to the worst weed in an American lawn, for there is one stubborn weed in particular that simply cannot survive it, and I will tell you which one and how to use the ash rightly. The old people looked first to the cupboard and the shed when something went wrong out in the garden, not last to the catalog and the store, and a plain two-dollar box of borax did the work of a shelf full of dear bottles for them, because they knew how to use it. The home that reaches for the cupboard before the catalog is the home that remembers how the old people really managed. The people who built this country with their hands knew that, and we are only just starting to remember it. #borax #gardeningtips #pestcontrol #naturalpestcontrol #diygarden #borax #gardenhacks #organicgardening #amish #eliasyoder #oldways #homestead #frugalgardening #antcontrol #slugcontrol #codlingmoth #boron #pennsylvaniadutch #cupboardstaples #thriftygardening
