Did you read about it in the Sunday Tel Garden Solutions? Natural fungi & microbes.
I've had a can for years but haven't got around to using it. But now they say that it is valuable for veg (not brassica) as well as for planting roses where roses have been.

I got mine from eco-co  - www.ecozone.co.uk as 'Mycoforce', but they don't seem to list it now. And I've screwed up the cutting from the paper!  = Tim

I saw it too, tim, but by the time I decided to save it the papers had all gone for recycling.  However, from what I saw in the article the stuff`s likely to be appearing in your local shop very soon.  I just wonder how much of what was in the article was advertising `hype`.

Googled mycorrhiza as I have never even heard of the word let alone that it was an agricultural/horticultural(?) function.  Fascinating stuff ....

Like doctors prescribing 'pushed' drugs, Hugh?

But I like Bunny Guinness & the trials do seem to show some advantage, so I'll be doing a trial next year. = Tim

How many `wonder` products have we seen in the past, tim, that either simply fail to live up to their advertising, or even turn out to do more harm than good?

If I see any in the garden shops I will try it, but I`ll reserve judgement until then.

Me too. It's so nearly impossible for us lot to do a controlled experiment?

Like - having helped grow in Jersey pre-war, I just love seaweed. But I can't ever prove it's virtues. Like - I take VitB to save my liver, & Halibut oil etc. But who will question their efficacy when I leave - by falling down stairs - as I have done at least twice!!

More, surely, is due to weather conditions & how much love you've put into the plot that year?? = Tim

Looking back on this - NO, it wasn't - it was carrying too many trays of chitted pots down from the attic!
