Mycorrhizal Granules
Mycorrhizae (say it: my-co-RYE-zee) are helpful fungi that team up with plant roots. Granules are an easy way to add them when you plant. Here's how to use them.
How much to use
Sprinkle the granules into the planting hole so they touch the roots. Use about 1 teaspoon for a 1-gallon plant.
Touching the roots is the key. The fungi need to meet the roots to team up with them.
What to use them on
Add granules to the hole for almost anything you plant. That includes veggies, flowers, wildflowers, shrubs and trees.
Plant Success Granular has two kinds of these fungi. One kind works with most garden plants. The other works with trees like pines, oaks, birch and fir.
When they help most
Granules can give new plants a good start in any soil. They may help most in soil that:
- Has been dug or tilled a lot
- Has had lots of chemical fertilizer or other garden chemicals
- Is poor or worn out
A few tips
- Use fresh product. These are living fungi, so old product may not work as well.
- Sowing a whole bed, or feeding plants that are already growing? Try Plant Success Soluble. You mix it with water, and you can use a hose-end sprayer.
