    I am a bit bemused by the mycorrhizal fungus. Wouldn't any well rotted FYM or a bucket of good home made compost supply the same?

     They use it a lot in Australia, but they are planting on practically pure sand. I thought I had sandy soil until I saw what my friend had in Perth. You might as well try planting on a beach. They add the fungi powder, but no nutrients for natives.If you add nutrients, the native plants die.

    KEF I bought cream for our Christmas eve dinner which was use by 27th December - still fine on our apple pie on 30th...takes more than the use by date to put me off....image

    Am I wrong or is the mycorrhizal fungus to encourage lots of little roots which help establish the plant/shrub and aid the take up of water and nutrients? 

    never a scientist around when you need one is there...image

    Must go and get on with daughter's curtains if I can summon up the energy. Overdosing on the lemsips and cough bottle so it's not all bad...
