Hi, Not long ago somebody (i can't remember who)was replying to a question and i think they said you can buy Micorrhiza from garden centres, does anyone know if this is right.

You can save your self the money and get some from the woods. It is present in most soils near conifers,

I have seen the same thing in garden centres, if my memory serves me right I think it was £9.99

imolte. Yes i didn't think about that, but when i used to go out walking just prior to potting time, if i came across a conifer wood i used to collect a bag of old rotted down conifer needles and mix in with my potting mix for my conifers.

But what i want the Micorrhiza for i have got 2 small larches that are not showing any live yet, so i was thinking of sprinkling some Micorrhiza on the soil to see if that would give them a kick start.

Just another daft idea of mine

Hi

A handfull of bark chips will give you some as well.

you only need a tiny amount as it grows quite quickly

Thanks keithmart

I'll try that i have some bark chips, i suppose you just have to keep the bark chips damp and dark.
