[Terrapreta] Soil microorganisms

[Allan Balliett]

SKB and everyone -

There is emerging information about mycorrhizal fungi being a source 
of N for plants as well as P (etc) Sorry, I don't have the reference 
at hand, but I believe that there are indications that mycorrhizae 
are even more valueable than we suppose.

As far as inoculating with mycorrhizae, there are many good 
inoculants on the market now, some of them amazingly robust, some of 
them also providing a synergistic community of soil microbes along 
with the fungi.

We're working with some of this in the garden this year and I'm 
seeing AMAZING results. This is mycorrhizae WITHOUT charcoal.

I'll try to post references when I get a chance, but we're still 
working 16 hour days and 7 day weeks here on the farm.

Later
