My soil test indicated 1.0 ppm of Boron I think it should be ~3.5 my giants are already in the ground and the MV is 2 ft long I have 12.5 percent OM I want to do either foliar or soil drench of Borax or something but I know too high is toxic and too low also bad how should I do it?

My first year but I found a product by Prevegenics called Cal-Bor. I use it both root and foliar and haven't killed the plants yet. Funny things is, I have no idea what if any benefit it is having cuz I got one pumpkin thus far on day 3

Im using mule team borax, its like 14% boron? I mixed up about 3 tsp, into a 1000l tank, and that was my 1 ppm i want to use. Ill run around that for most of my waterings, but ill try very hard to not go much above 1 ppm of boron

I guess when I set up the irrigation (a few days) I’ll run borax down dissolved first
