Good Fungi, Healthy Roots, Happy Plants
Presentation with Robert Kourik
Laguna Environmental Center
Saturday, March 3rd, 2018 @ 3:00 pm
There are amazing beneficial fungi that promote the healthiest roots of native and ornamental plants. Trees especially need this symbiotic relationship for superior growth. This valuable fungus assists 95% of all plants to grow and prosper—from the Laguna and beyond. This presentation will explain what the relationship is (called mycorrhizal association), where in the roots it happens, how it increases yields, and whether-or-not purchased inoculants are needed. More importantly, how to promote the existing fungi will be reviewed. All gardens and market gardens will prosper with a healthy presence of this natural fungus. All gardeners, landscape professionals, restoration specialists, and farmers will benefit from this presentation. Hot drinks and snacks will be provided.
