Re: [compost_tea] increasing mycorrhizal colonization on boulevard trees?
Hi Sonja -
Mike Amaranthus is a good person to talk to about how to get mycorrhizal
spores to the root system - injection is the best way, BUT you can't put the
organisms into the intitial water you use to blast the hole in the soil.
There's a company in New Zealand that has a machine that does injection, but
the tea goes in after the inital blast, using low pressure, so you don't kill
the organisms by smacking them into the soil particles at high speed.
Please check with Richard Prew, at heritage_at_xtra.co.nz
He can get you the contact details for the company in NZ called Aer8tor
Mycorrhizal spores should not be put in tea until IMMEDIATELY before
application.
