This might sound daft but...
My two kiwi plants i have planted a couple of months ago look perfectly healthy but they haven't grown an inch since then. I think it may be something to do with the surrounding soil (the area was paved before). I dug up quite large pits for them and filled them up with nice fluffy compost but they still seem to be stuck. Maybe I'm just being impatient, but the plants were described as "vigorous climbers" and there's nothing vigorous about them at all at the moment.
Anyway, back to the question. I found this rooting fungus on ebay and it seems to be worth a try. The problem is - it's supposed to be placed at the bottom of the pit. I'm certainly not going to dig them up again, so was wondering - if i mix some fungus into the top layer of the soil around the plants - will it do any good?
Thanks
