I've given up on it too as so much of what MD says is so factually inaccurate I fear for anyone following some of his "advice".
That's why you and your mates gave me abuse for saying monty don is a tv legend. Unbelievable abuse and then you lot started ranting about Alan Titchmarsh in the same breath 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Have you thought about maybe taking up some hobbies to take up more of your time? I've noticed you get quite stressed out on here with all the injustice you see. Just a suggestion...😊
Adding mycorrhizal fungi to the planting hole is what appears to be all they are doing now.
At times all the somewhat contradictory information for newer gardeners can cause some mild anxieties, I know it has for me 😄. I watch this guy on YouTube https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu0fnZLPUaw he appears quite rough with plants and isn't to precious about the rules, but seemingly gets away with it.
I've never used that myco stuff, and don't think I need to- I worry that gardening is becoming a bit like the food industry. Lots of new bandwagons for folk to jump on. If people feel it's worthwhile investing in, fair enough, but if everything in the garden is rosy ['scuse the pun] I'd rather spend the money on other things. I think the rise of YouTube is a reason many folk are confused @Astro. I'm quite hard with my plants - it works for me, so I'm happy with that I think it's wise to wait @CraighB. The soil will drop a bit, so if it's not an inconvenience for you, leaving it all till spring is the best solution.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
IMHO Adding mycorrhizal fungi to the planting hole is just the latest way to suck money from gullible consumers. I've yet to see any evidence that it actually works. With all the horticulture courses / institutions across the planet, you'd think at least one of them would have performed some " double blind" experiments to establish efficacy or otherwise.
I would use mycorrhizal fungi if I had a new-build garden where the soil was in poor heart.
I don’t believe it’s needed in an established garden where the soil has had lots of manure and good homemade garden compost and leaf mould over the years ... the right fungi/bacteria should already be there.
I have heard this acknowledged by several of the experts on GQT and I believe Monty Don or someone has said as much on GW as well.
