Why use Mycorrhizae Products?

More and more gardeners are using mycorrhizae (say it: my-co-RYE-zee). These are helpful fungi that team up with plant roots. But you may still wonder what they do and why you'd use them.

What they do

In nature, these fungi live on plant roots. They send thin threads out into the soil. The threads reach water and nutrients the roots can't get to on their own.

Why add them

Digging, building and garden chemicals can upset the fungi in your soil. When that happens, adding them back can help.

How they can help

• Roots can take in more water and nutrients.
• They can help soil form loose crumbs, so air and water move through it.
• They support other helpful life in the soil.
• Plants can use more of the plant food already in your soil.

Results depend on your plants and how you grow them.

To try it, sprinkle Plant Success Granular in the planting hole, or mix Plant Success Soluble with water for plants already growing.
