Need to raise boron level, it is low at .8, is there a product out there to raise it? I have Borax but how much to add, should you use borax. I am not sure on this, anyone have an answer.

Boron is easy to over apply often with disastrous results.
Please read this:

.8 ppm isn't low.
Manure will likely raise B to some extent.

In the past I used Boric Acid powder. You can pick it up at any grocery or drug store, it's used as an eyewash. I put a tablespoon in a gallon of water in my sprayer and walk around the patch and apply to the soil. I don't know how much it helped, but it wasn't enough to do any harm.
