SPRING GARDEN TIP

Walkway Crevices can be a real challenge all summer. The weeds seem to love finding a way to peek up through though don't they? You have to admire their tenacity... but not for long.
If you manage to get out there before they get too good a start pouring borax into the crevices helps keep them at bay. Borax around the foundation of the house will also discourage ants and other creepy crawlies from getting too comfortable as well! Be careful not to get it on your plants or your lawn however - it will likely harm them. Its said however that sunflowers actually like the stuff. Provided you buy borax that is naturally occurring and not manufactured, its planet friendly as well. Generally speaking a quarter of a cup of borax disolved in a gallon of water will do the trick.
