You guys have any recommendations?

Thanks!

Once you inoculate your soil and then maintain mulch over it, there is no need to do it again for another 7 to 10 years. Pick the least expensive product you can find and use it sparingly.

Cheapest I could find at the time. Very happy with it.

MycoBoost Beneficial Fungi for healthier plants and stronger roots

Richard · 09-29-2009, 12:29 PM

I supply "Pure 'N Natural 3-3-3", 8.8 lb bag for $12. Shipping is another $11 to $14 so perhaps a product in your local store would have a cheaper total cost. See this page: http://www.plantsthatproduce.com/pro...nourished.html

I got a 8.8lb bag from you, I have been using it as I would bone meal, a few cups mixed into my potting mix. I like this better because it is not just Mycorrhizae, It also has Humus and Aerobic and Anaerobic Bacteria. Other wise you have to buy a Mycorrhizae product and another product to add the beneficial Bacteria. My local garden shop sells beneficial Bacteria and then beneficial fungi product is Mycorrhizae, this way I am not buying two different things.

I also find that the Mycorrhizae products all work very well with humic acid. I also got my humic acid product from you, Soil Builder. Very happy with this product I have been using once to twice a month and my peach has come back to life.

I don't know if it is related but when I use Humic acid product I find that my compost / mulch seems to break down faster.

I have never seen Kellogg's brand garden products in my local home depot. But I will keep an eye out for it now. Kellogg's seems like it would be a great over the counter type product.

Sometimes shipping "The good stuff" Can get a little out of hand.

Kellogg's Garden Products are made in southern California and usually not distributed in the eastern U.S. The mycorrhizae in thier products comes from the Gro-Power factory in Chino. Kellogg's is an excellent brand.

I got mine from Marshall Grain Co. online. It's in Texas someplace...Fortworth I believe.

sandy0225 · 12-02-2009, 07:34 AM

all my plants are grown in promix with mycrorrhize and biofungicide added. it costs like an extra $2.00 per bag but since I started using it, the amount of root rot I get in the winter has went really down. So if you get a plant from me, the roots already have the myrorrhize. Does it colonize the surrounding soil from the root ball? I would like to think so, but would welcome some input...

Abnshrek · 12-02-2009, 09:28 AM

I'll tell you what I just moved one of my palms recently that I used the product previously described.. man alive talk about some root structure.. I'm no advocate of any thing unless it works. The ones I repotted were root bound when I stuck them in the ground.. it wasn't 3 months. I just did what was recommended.

I can't get my brain around these two words being in the same sentence. Is the fungicide there to prevent an over-abundance of the Mycorrhiza ?

I would assume that most of the fungi would move to the rhizosphere (the area around the root). The fungi associate with plants in order to obtain carbohydrates.

They are two different products. You can buy a bag with mycorrhizae or a bag with biofungicide. The biofungicide would help with rot caused by pathogenic fungi.

Fungi Perfecti is a company by Paul Stamets, a leader in mycology. They offer a nice selection of mycorrhiza products.
For a nice economic choice of humic acid and seaweed products, check out the company Simplici-Tea.
Best of luck shopping!

Richard · 01-04-2010, 12:51 PM

Checkout the Grow More Bio-Start product.

Worm_Farmer · 07-10-2011, 12:31 PM

I have found this product(Myco Maddness) and I am about to jump in and buy some. I really like how it claims to have 15 different types of myco in one product. What has me worried, this is the ONLY myco product that I have seen suggesting to water in 1 - 2 each week. That just doesn't seem right to me based on what I have read and feedback on the thread.

I have been using this product with good success. The product you have linked is considerably more expensive.

Maybe you could try finding this where you live. I use it on all of my plants when I plant them out and they really thrive.

i havent tried any of the "stuff" out there..theres alot..
i know with my some of my alocasias they do better with a
heavy addition of my own made leaf compost.. im sure theres
a ton of mycorrhizae in it.. havent eaten any ..yet.. to know..LOL
one alocasia i got last yr..which did super.. i got from lari ann gardner
who does alot with aroids.. she has written on symbiotic relationships
of many aroids..especially the A.robusta.. which is tough to grow outside
of tropics.. but some of reason probably is what is..or isnt in the soil..
ive kicked around idea of buying some product thats out there..
would like thoughts..experiences...
good luck.....

Richard · 02-25-2012, 07:45 PM

I use the Grow More Myco-Grow product. So far this year I've inoculated over 200 bareroot plants with it and about 1/4 of the 1-lb jar is left. It has a long shelf life because the spores are packed with humic acid powder. I believe there are other brands out there that have been packed the same way, so I'm not advocating this as the only good choice available.

Keep in mind that not all plants make use of mycorrhizae: Brassicas being a big example. Also, some plants require specialized mycorrhizae: Rhododendrons (including blueberries) are an important example in the U.S.
