MYCORRHIZAL FUNGUS

[dbjay417]

does anyone have any experience using mycorrhizal fungus products in their veggie gardens?

if by chance you don't know what it is...http://www.fungi.com/mycogrow/index.html

I saw a segment about it on Modern Marvels, and it seemed impressive. Apparently the evolution of this fungus is what originally allowed plantlife to colonize the planet so thuroughly.

Here in Colorado many garden centers sell planting mix that contains mycorrhizal fungus. We use it to cover seeds planted in rows. It also works well in containers. As the market expands there are more products that you add to transplants and soil amendments. Marketing has been slow to tell the public that this is a "fungus" as it may shy people away from it. There are also products on the market that utilize beneficial bacteria to do many things in the soil. Understanding and properly using these organisims can really help most all things growing without using as much fertilizers. They can also reduce the physical labor involved in keeping a healthy lawn. Check out www.getmicrosolutions.com:mow
