    Andy sturgeon is a prize pillock, mycrza should be sprinkled over roots as it works by root contact, it is wasted if you pour it into the planting hole.

    Also note that the idiot didnt break open the rootball.

    By the by, does anyone know if retrospective application of mycorrhiza / mycorrhizal fungi is possible - e.g. to the shrubs I planted in the spring when I didn't know about this stuff. Thanks
