mycorrhizae is a beneficial fungi that clings to plant roots in
exchange for sugars made by the plant. There are two different types of
mycorrhizae ; endo and ecto. We will discss the difference and what
they do for your plants in the garden.
Here is where you can get both!

Super science. Very cool.
seldom to see younger people love gardening like you! I hope my kids gonna have a talent like you☺… I am telling them all the time how much important to grow your own vegetables and fruits because aside from you can save money you are safe from chemical also.☺
At the Lowe's where i live they have the garden soil that has the endo and ecto mycorrhizal fungi in the soil.
+MIgardener Hey Luke, where do you get your gloves and what are they called? They look good for precision gardening work; not as bulky as the traditional gardening gloves.
SOLD! =D
I am missing something…. what's between the beds ? Just wood or bark ? specific ?
While caring for my seedlings, can I add a little mycorrhizae to the soil in their seedtray?
Very cool video!
Hello Migardener, do you have a video on companion planting?……………………..Ken & Beverly
Can i put mycorrhizae when i am going to plant an walnut tree in the autumn, any chance that the mycorrhizae to die during the winter, in my country is very cold in the winter (-20…-24°C) our i should put the mycorrhizae in the spring into the soil….?

I piled a bunch of leaves and broken branches for many months. digging them up I see the same thing growing under neath.
Thanks 🙂
Do endo die in tropical climate?
If there is very little cold, isn't the plant supposed to carry any mycorrhizae infection for life ecto or not?
Hey Luke, I am wondering…I live in Louisiana zone 8b…If I use both endo and ecto in a bed and it does not die over winter…will this make my brassicas perform poorly or will it just be a non issue because they do not communicate with the mycorrhizae?
You should do an update video. Your information is very wrong here. I love your videos, but please don't misguide people.
How do I find out more about the various species of Endo and Ecto. Are they funghi that we know from the grocery store or are they more specialized? Thanks!
I already planted tomato in my garden. is it possible to add mycorrhizae to soil now.? Like dig little bit around root, and add it.
Please stand up…
So luke we should use the mixture of both even if the plant is an annual? I can't really find any information on the fungi and how it works with watermelons I wonder if you know anything about that?
It is untrue that Endo is only for annuals.
I doubt that mycorrhizaes need to be reapplied every year in cold climes. If the soil is not soaking, they can happily freeze and reappear as far as I know.
We know that Endo Mycorrhizae needs a living root. In a 50X25 garden plot will a few Winter growing plants keep the fungi system alive through the Winter.
this video answered all my questions xD
So…when is the best time to apply the watering-in method? On seedlings..or when planting the larger plant? Ty!
That's very helpful info, thnx Luke. Many of my trees have been stressed from last year's torrential rain, then drought (technically not drought but was unusually fair weather). This stuff came recomended when I bought an Iron bag, hope I can bring back color to my pine trees and help my oak & ash and even my veggie gardens. I know they have Iron deficiancy, I recently found out. My soil is very alkaline, hard growing anything.
Mykos is used a lot by cannabis growers for rhizophaggus intracedes, the specific microbe that helps in cannabis growth. The other microbes don't necessarily feed the plant but the soil microbes will eat each other, live, and die in their own ecosystem of magic.
There must surely be a ton of natural fungus in soil already that do the same thing… I don't trust this product until I see a trusted experiment or do it myself. Seems like snake oil.
Broccoli, brassicas and mustards have no mycorrhizal connections. 95% of all other plants have endo-mycorrhizal connections, including bushes and deciduous trees. ECTO mycorrhizae only really come to the fore with old growth forest, especially conifers, even then the roots need to be colonised by endo (specifically VAM/AM) first before the ecto-m can colonise. There are trees, vines and bushes, like blue berries, that can simultaneously host both ecto and ericoid (a type of endo).
Apart from nutrient uptake by your desired plant the major benefit of having AM in your soil is to take nutrients away from the non AM species, so selecting against weeds. That's no use if you're trying to gro broccoli, but very useful for most everything else.
What's the difference between myco and mykos and can I use both?
if you use worm castings do you still need to use these
thanks
