Hi Thomas Giannou,
Thanks to you, Thomas Giannoe, for those resources of more
information on Mycorrhiza. I will start with the one from West
Virginia, I think. It looked most interesting to me, as I hurriedly
bookmarked each one to study later. (I am not planning on it taking the
rest of my life, though.)
After doing quite a bit of reading on it, I have ordered some
Mycorrhiza root booster from another company, which was mentioned in one
of the newsletters last year. I am going to experiment with it on half
of my Habanero chile pepper plants, and on some other vegetables. I
will also use it on some of the heirloom tomato seeds I purchased from
Chuck Wyatt.
I am so excited to try heirloom tomatoes this year, thanks to
Margaret's letters to the list, Chuck's letters, and others. Since it
will be my FIRST experience with HEIRLOOM tomatoes, I will try
Mycorrhiza on only a few to compare the results with the other seeds not
receiving that treatment. I have absolute trust and confidence in Chuck
Wyatt's words concerning gardening, but I am also a very curious
individual.
I want to learn more (in addition to what I have read so far) about
the validity of the claims and research studies made on Mycorrhiza. At
the end of the summer, I will report on my "unscientific" experiment,
and let you know if I feel very foolish for ever trying it.
