Lon and everyone, All the pluses that flow from biological symbiosis are
incredibly well-summed up in the article that Lon posted. Thanks, guy! I’ve
long been advocating that people find healthy wild trees and take a few
spadefuls of inoculated soil to their fruit orchards and/or compost piles if
woody in nature. But all this begs one big question: How much do we undo of these
mycorrhizal benefits when we use fungicides in the orchard and vineyard? I don’t
know that it matters here if we’re talking captan or sulfur, though maybe
there are some gentle fungicides someone wants to point out. Is there a balance
point between the two where a minimal fungicide program does not break the mycorrhizal
chain? Michael Phillips Lost Nation Orchard Heartsong Farm Healing
