The desired pH range is 6 to 6.5. If it is between 5 and 6, then adding small amounts of Calcium Carbonate will raise the pH without significantly altering the nutrient properties.
If the pH is below 5 or above 7 (doubtful) then you'll need to rethink your mixture.
Mycorrhizae (Mikoriza) are fungal spores. They must come in contact with roots within a few hours of mix with water or soils. Application above ground by water or cultivator is not effective. Application to bare roots is the best method. |
Thank you Richard, I will use your method and check the ph-level,
about the Mikoriza-app, I am using mini-sprinklers that cover all the ground, there are many of them.
The roots are very close to the surface, I watered a lot and I suppose the application directly got to the roots. None of the watering-water gets lost.
