Hey all! Long time lurker- mostly because my questions get answered with the search function! Thank you for all your knowledge and advice.
So hopefully I haven't missed a thread already discussing this: My question has to do with mycorrhizal fungi. After learning about the amazing benefits it provides to plants, I'm keen to introduce it into my first year garden this spring. I know there are many commercial products available, and were I to use one, I think I'd purchase it from fungi.com. But, that being said, it seems as though this fungi is already present in natural, healthy soils. And I'd first and foremost like to provide additional healthy habitat for the mycorrhizal fungi native to this habitat. I also know there is an incredibly complex web of life present in healthy soil, far beyond just the fungi. So that being said.. Would collecting a few shovelfuls of healthy soil from a forest, and introducing it to my garden, in effect act as a "transplant" for these helpful critters, bacteria, and fungi? Assuming that I'd provided them a habitat that they found to their liking of course! Has anyone tried this?
Thanks for the wisdom.
