Description
This mycorrhizal fungi soil additive supports root development by forming a natural association with plant roots. When planting trees, shrubs, fruit or bedding plants, it helps improve access to nutrients and water, addressing weak growth linked to limited root spread and poor soil structure.
Mycorrhizal fungi soil additive for stronger root systems
The product introduces beneficial fungi directly to the root zone. These fungi extend beyond the existing root system, increasing the area from which water and nutrients can be absorbed.
This process supports improved establishment during planting and steadier development as plants mature.
Improved nutrient uptake through soil fungi activity
Once active in the soil, the fungi assist plants in accessing nutrients that would otherwise remain unavailable. This can be particularly useful in soils with low fertility or uneven nutrient levels.
By improving nutrient availability, plants can maintain more consistent growth across the season.
Adaptable across different soil types and planting areas
The fungi support root interaction in clay, sandy and mixed soils by extending the effective root zone. This makes it appropriate for use in garden beds, allotments, containers and lawns.
It can be incorporated during planting or used to support established root systems.
Application during planting and establishment stages
For best results, apply when roots are present so direct contact can occur. Placing the fungi in close proximity to roots allows colonisation to begin promptly.
It may also be worked gently into the soil near existing root areas.

Frequently asked questions
How do mycorrhizal fungi interact with plant roots?
The fungi form a living network around roots, extending their reach into the soil. This network assists with the movement of water and nutrients back to the plant.
Can this product be used on lawns as well as planting beds?
It can be applied to lawns, particularly during seeding or after aeration when access to the root zone is improved.
Is it suitable for use in containers?
It can be used in pots and containers when placed close to roots during planting or mixed into compost near established roots.
Should I water after applying mycorrhizal fungi?
Watering after application helps settle the fungi into the soil and supports early contact with plant roots.
Does soil disturbance affect fungal activity?
Heavy digging or soil replacement can disrupt fungal networks. In such cases, reapplication may help restore root support.
