Hi..Thanks for your comment ..Exactly my thoughts ...How do you know what your buying....I was stupid last season buying $150 of stuff that as far as I could ascertain did nothing ....so I buy $237 worth this season from another source which I am sure is the proper Mycorrhizae product with the trade name Mycorrmax...
Why $237...Well before I get all sorts of remarks thrown at me ....I should explain that this place sells sachets and $2kg bags ..but take note??? A sachet at just over $11 plus 15% GST ....has a $20 Shipping tag on it ....buy 2 x Sachets one is up for $40 shipping and so on ($20 a sachet...no combined shipping....Where are you Amazon???) ....the 2kg bag has GST and yes $20 shipping....Because I am now able to advertise on a local neighbourly website ...I will break it into small amounts for local growers...not to make a profit but to use it and get rid of the rest of the 2kg and yes to get my money back and also to meet other growers...maybe I will get reports back on what they thought of it....
Maybe I should see If I can get soil analized and see what the growing company is actually using......The two products I sought an opinion on were recommended to me by garden centres......Thats what happens here...
The fans arrived from China today for my growth Chamber So I can now start germinating my seeds ..I am hoping for great results with this.especially for my Black from tula seeds which are not Black from tula????.I was in a Garden centre yesterday looking at their first young plants supplied by two companies...one companies plants looked absolutely terrible
...There is no way I would buy any of them..they looked like plants from the end of the season that are flogged off by the garden centres for 50c or a $1..
