ROOTGROW MYCORRH FUNGI 150G

After reading how brilliant Cotoneaster franchetii plants are at eating roadside pollution, I decided to buy several for my front yard and got some bare root young plants (about 10"/25cm tall) and thought I'd give this product a go. I followed the instructions by sprinkling the product into the holes I'd dug for the plants. As they were bare root plants, though, I also put a few scoops into a bowl, and swished the roots themselves all over the fungi granules, so that the roots (which I'd lightly sprayed with water) picked up the fungi powder, giving the roots a nice coating. Anyhoo... just four short weeks later, and the shrubs are absolutely thriving. I can actually see the difference, and even my wife commented on how much these plants have grown and filled out. I really can't praise this stuff highly enough... In gardening, there are heaps and heaps of gimmicky products that do little or nothing, and certainly don't fulfil their varied bold claims... but this stuff is not a gimmick, and it has way surpassed any expectations I had for it. It's simply fantastic. Very surprising indeed. I can't say if this stuff will work with all types of plants, but it definitely works on shrubs and bushes etc... It's even supposed to work on small trees... I actually read recently in a science magazine, that trees rely on a symbiotic relationship with root fungi like this, and scientists have only just realised the extent to which this relationship is needed by the tree... It was reading that article, that inspired me to try this stuff. I'll be planting a fruit tree in my back-yard soon (my apple tree was destroyed by a recent storm) and I will DEFINITELY be using this stuff very liberally in the hole and on the roots. Five stars out of five... Absolutely fantastic stuff.

Excellent product for establishing good root growth when planting out

Alright to use but quite big grains, I was expecting powder, still to be seen how effective it is.

This is the 1st time I have used this and I'm impressed at the results. I used this on my dwarf apple tree rootstock. I followed the instructions and sprinkled a few granules in the planting hole, making sure to make contact with the roots, and then sprinkled a little more on top of the roots before covering with soil. After just a little over 2 weeks (in February/March), 3 out of 5 trees showed new root growth, see photo. This is faster than I have seen. I am pleased with the results and the price is very reasonable for the results it gives. I have so far used around half of one packet to plant 2 semi standard crab apples, and 5 dwarf apple trees. I am confident that this packet will see me well into the next planting season too. I have also found worms and centipedes happily snuggled up to the tree roots hibernating, a clear indication that this is without a doubt a wildlife friendly product.

A good for root product

I've not tried this item at the moment but it says scoop included but there isn't one I brought two packs and neither had a scoop reason for giving three stars

I've used Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi for a few years and found it really effective at helping new trees/plants get established without issues. You only need to use a small amount of the product and even a small pack lasts a long time. My only slightly negative comment is I feel the product would be better packaged in a solid plastic container with a removable shaker-style lid. That way you could dispense the product without having to reach into the packet which inevitably means you end up with moisture/soil in the bag.

My cats are catnip, valerian, and silvervine experts - and they love this. The leaves are green and potent, no stalks or dust. A little goes a long way. Best yet!

unclear if you really hafto use the recommended dosage or if its just market-spiel to sell more product. Mykorrhiza needs only 2+ microbes to establish a colony, i think. i used 2/3 of bag for 10 plants. product is dusty pebbles/gravel, so this is a product for soil.. idk if its any good or not, impossible to know, but i feel more confident to have a little additives. 3 stars becouse it was the cheapest mykorrhiza i could find online
