Reminder!
Mycorhizza and non organic products are not compatible!
Breeding roses organically is the most important step onto the path of glorious roses.
It not only makes our roses and plants to grow better but it also transforms the garden into a biodiverse and ecological entity.
With gardening organically we lay our roses and plants in the hands of nature. Mycorrhiza is a key element in the organic circle of our gardens. This fungi builds an underground grid in which all plants, shrubs and trees in our garden are connected. If there's a plant that hasn't enough of a certain element (let's say nitrogen) the Mycorhizza grid will detect this and send Nitrogen towards this plant. It detects this because the roots of our plants ergo our roses our infested with the mycorrhiza fungi and shortage of any kind is immediately detected. Mycorrhiza itself thrives on humus, the organic substances in our soil. The more organic material we give the better the amount of humus will be and the better the mycorrhiza can do its werk. Planting roses using Mycorhizza and providing enough organic material is essential to be successful..
But: Once you start to work with Mycorhizza you cannot use non organic fertilizer anymore, not ever! Artificial, chemical fertilizer destroys the Mycorhizza immediately! So your grid of protection disappears. Also ALL chemical fungicides and insecticides and herbicides are FORBIDDEN, they kill mycorrhiza. It gets into the roses, the soil and its game over!
I've already learned you guys about Neem and Milk and Potassium bicarb but in the future we'll learn more organic solutions to strengthen our roses and this especially through foliage feeding.
So stay tuned and take this to heart: If you keep using chemical products while you treated your roots with mycorrhiza all will be in vain, your precious spores and fungi will die immediately. So be careful!
