Tropical Fruit Discussion / Who is using Mycorrhizal fungi in their garden/orchard?
« on: March 19, 2012, 11:41:41 AM »
I have been using Mycogrow (mycorrhizal fungi) since ordering it over a month ago. Been using so far, I can't tell a big difference in health and vigor right now. However, I can say that all the plants that are emerging or flushing seem to be very healthy so far.
Being in a container setting, I figured it would not hurt to try to introduce friendly fungi and bacteria into the container soil mix. I am hoping that the end results warrant the use of it. So far, I am using it as a soil drench mixed with compost tea. I was thinking of using it as a seed soak as well.
Even if it does not improve the plants performance by much, the price is low enough to warrant testing it. I hope that it turns out, that it does indeed help out. The main test will be this summer, when the temp rises and mild drought stress kicks in some plants (unavoidable, with hot & dry weather + wind). Supposedly the drought tolerance is increased, with application and active colonies of beneficial fungi & bacterial.
I wanted to know who else uses it in the garden/orchard? Do you notice a difference?
