Amazing!! I’m constantly learning things about fungi I didn’t know before. Fungi might be the most amazing of all of God’s creations.

Good info coming forward from this long experiment on roots.
I remember a gardener say the same thing years ago is a shorter form lol what he said was it's only the tips of the roots that grow and have the life... Interesting interview...

[@dadmezz4024]

So, sounds like plants have a survival mechanism to grow with minimal nutrients like in sand as long as they have sun and water.
Amazing!

When you guys were talking about tree roots, it was mentioned that doing a box cut on the root ball was best, was he saying to make 4 slits in the ball or to cut a slice from each side to make the ball a box?

[@maritimegardening4887]

the latter
