mycorrhizal fungi -  Wondering abut people's personal opinions on treating my 
soil with mycorrhizal fungi before I plant.
Also,   
                
                
                Trichoderma 
                atroviride.  at this website http://www.ampacbiotech.net/   
Is it worthwhile, or more of just a frill?


Trellis posts - I keep going back and forth.  I am going to need 2 end posts, 
and 5 posts in between, if I go with 3 plants between posts.

I was thinking black locust posts on the ends as there is a place about a 
hour away which sells black locust.  Then for the interior posts, alternating 
between wood and steel, but then I wondered about a recycled plastic post to 
take the place of the metal posts.(benefit of longevity)

so it might look like this
[locust] [metal] [locust] [metal] [locust] [metal] [locust]

Opinions?  And if this is a decent idea, does anyone know a source for 
recycled plastic posts?


Another wooden post I've found online is the Princeton Wood Preserver 
                                                                              
          pine posts.
