Rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi
« on: October 01, 2009, 22:08:02 »
I have been reading up about this and it seems like the way to go with new plants. As I will be planting quite a lot of new fruit this autumn I thought I might give it a try. Has anyone used it and, if so, does it do all it promises?

I use it on all my fruit and some of my veg last year with mixed results, but I think that's down to some of my earth being shoddily prepared or bad manure or a lack of rain. 

A quarter of my fruit died so it can't perform miracles.

worth it for roses, shrubs, trees, fruit canes, and anything else that's going to be around for a few years. I don't think it's worth it for most veg or annuals.

Thanks all! Like I said it's for fruit - bushes and trees.  I already knew it was good for roses, just wondering if it was OK for edibles. Seems that it is.
