Difficult to know how effective

I always use the when planting new shrubs and roses. A bit difficult to tell hew beneficial it is without doing own comparisons, but Monty says it’s a must so that’s good enough.

Roots boost

Great product. I had to move a plum tree and plant a Rowen tree and used the granules. Both look very happy. I will be ordering more as I plan to plant shrubs along my fence. Thank you

Promotes Healthy Plant Growth!

I recently tried the Roots Boost Mycorrhizal Fungi Granules, and they have significantly benefited my plants' growth and overall health. These granules are a valuable addition to any gardening routine, promoting robust and thriving plants.Pros:Enhanced Nutrient Uptake: The mycorrhizal fungi in these granules form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, increasing their surface area for nutrient absorption. This results in improved nutrient uptake, leading to healthier and more productive plants.Stronger Root Development: The mycorrhizal fungi stimulate root growth and branching, creating a stronger root system. This helps plants establish themselves more effectively in the soil, improving their ability to withstand environmental stresses.Increased Drought Resistance: The enhanced root system facilitated by the mycorrhizal fungi improves water absorption and retention. As a result, plants become more resilient to drought conditions, reducing the need for frequent watering.Easy Application: The granules are easy to apply directly to the plant roots during planting or transplanting. They can also be applied to established plants by gently working them into the soil around the root zone.Versatile Use: The Roots Boost granules are suitable for a wide range of plants, including flowers, vegetables, herbs, and shrubs. They can be used in various gardening settings, from pots and containers to raised beds and gardens.Cons:Limited Quantity: The 500g pack size may not be sufficient for larger gardening projects or extensive planting. Additional packs may be required for larger-scale applications.Long-Term Benefits: While the granules offer significant long-term benefits, it may take some time to see noticeable results. Patience and continued use are necessary for optimal plant growth.Overall, the Roots Boost Mycorrhizal Fungi Granules are a valuable tool for promoting healthy plant growth. With their ability to enhance nutrient uptake, stimulate root development, increase drought resistance, and easy application, they are a recommended choice for gardeners of all skill levels. While the pack size may be limited for larger projects and the results may take time, the long-term benefits these granules provide make them an excellent investment.
