Borax is also supposed to be good for controlling creeping charlie on
your lawn.

The bees and I love 'creeping charlie'. I use it in place of fresh
thyme in recipes.

I used to visit an abandoned orchard that was blanketed with a carpet
of creeping charlie 6" thick. On a hot august day the smell was just
this side of heaven.

I'd prefer it to grass if I could get it to cover my whole 'lawn'.

It's also good to kill ants and roaches.

I've been searching for Borax all summer. I found directions (a recipe)
to clean my Sunbrella outdoor fabric cushions and it called for a
small amount of Borax. I recall seeing that box as a child yet haven't
found it since.

Kmart and Walmart carry Borax.

Borax is probably in the cleaning and laundry detergent aisle at the
grocery store. The "20 Mule Team Borax" box I recently bought seems to
be about the same size as a box of (dry) automatic dishwasher detergent.
HTH.
