Powder

could someone help me with the name of the powder they’ve used in one of the programs to plant a tree. It’s to make the roots stronger.  We don’t use it in Belgium and want to try this.  Thanks.

    Mycorrhizal powder/Root grow?
    Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

    Some info from the RHS here.

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Good luck trying to find it in Belgium. I got mine in the uk and I'm almost out now.

    Whilst we are here Nathalie, have you found the equivalent of john innes soil in Belgium? If so, whats it called and where did you get it? All i can find here seems to be peat based.

    We’ve never used it, it’s in your soil naturally. Just a nice lot of compost down the hole and some fish, blood and bone sprinkled round the edge after planting will do as well as. 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    The RHS, Beechgrove and Monty recommend it, so I am trying it out.
