Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Dieter Brand <diebrand@yahoo.com>]

D´Coda,

 

This puts me in an even worse dilemma. Reading all the lore distributed via the

net regarding the wonderful effects of mycorrhizae, I have been trying to encourage

the growth of mycorrhizae in the vegetable garden. Now, do I have to choose

between earthworms and mycorrhizae? Or is the growth of mycorrhizae in

the veg garden an illusion anyways?

Dieter, I've been mulching heavily with dry leaves from the forest for 7 years and the earthworms love it. The soil is loaded with earthworms. What we sometimes overlook about the soil in the forest itself, is that the roots of the trees are associated with  mycorrhizae which inhibit earthworms.. Its not the leaves, but the tree's root system.
