Do what?
If this concept is new to you I suggest wikipedia and then youtube for some deep education.
The idea is brand new to me and I'm wondering if there is merit right here in good old blighty, given that my soil is (generally) healthy and full of composting material/life. Has anyone tried it in our temperate climate and did you notice any improvements? I've always been a big advocate of the soil being the key and building healthy soil was a priority, never understood why but it worked out well for me.
I'm thinking more these days about the quality of the soil and the mechanics of nutrient absorption by the plants. To this end I'm adding lots of compost and wood mulch/leaves to the plot, I'm developing some mycorrhizae fungi on last years buried wood chips and hoping to develop this further. I might try and inoculate each of my transfer plantings with mycorrhizae by dipping in a home made solution and was wondering if going the whole hog with a spray of EM1 on a monthly basis will help too? I like the idea of being wholly organic and can probably produce these 'magic' organic chemicals enough for my own use, so does anyone else already do this with success or is it a wasted effort if your soil is already friable and full of organic matter and life?
I'm rambling on too much, any practical pointers folks?
