How are your Ae Ae doing this year, Dan? Are differences still significant?

Harvey ------- The 2 Ae Ae are ok -- still no size yet. They took cold damage hits in Dec and Jan. The Jan cold was a real frost, even though short lived. Both were double wrapped with frost cloth. All leaves were toast --- but pstems, pup and corms survived. I live 10 miles inland from the Atlantic and always see greater swings of temp than, say, Brian. He is further south and a block or so from the beach.

Gonna try something else this year. Four to five inches of large size bark chip mulch. And worms, castings and fish emulshn. And reinoculate with Myco. Then we’ll see!

Ae #1 -- about the same as last year this time


Ae #2 -- a bit bigger than 7/10

you can get mycorr. in compost tea.
Just get some compost, stick a handful of oatmeal in it (I also stick a handful of sawdust by the wood saw) mix it up and drench it in non tap water. Stick it in a warm dark place for 4 or 5 days and you will have loads of fungus. written by "tastyratz" awhile back

Question....
There is mucho compost here, both dry and in the pile. It is cow manure and hay with some worms thrown in. Does it matter if the compost is wet or dried stuff?
Thanks
