Hi Elaine. A couple of  weeks ago Jeff gave a great list of fungal vs. bac
dominant plants. But we will never have a complete list so I'm looking for
general indicators of where a plant falls on the bac/fungal continuum.

If we are unsure what a plant's native habitat was like, what other factors can
be indicators of its microbial preferences? How about a plant's ph
preference? There seems to be a correlation between acid loving plants and
those that thrive in fungal environments.  Is this a reliable indicator? Are there
others?
