Growing Home - Mycorrhizae

When you plant in your garden, you can encourage faster growth by adding products that contain “mycorrhizae,” which is a friendly fungus that form partnerships with plant roots. This relatively new soil amendment improves nutrient absorption, boosts root development, and protects plants from disease with a web-like underground network of fungal threads. It also helps young plants establish quickly when mixed into soil at planting. Many garden centers now carry mycorrhizae products and soils to help your garden thrive.
