Mycorrhizae-infused potting soil
I recently started using a new organic potting soil to start my babies indoors first, and I came across a bagged soil with a bunch of mycorrhizal cultures in the bag. My seedlings SHOT up- this was 3+ year old bagseed I had laying around- and germinated 3 days after planting!
For those who don't know about the wonderful symbiotic relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and plants, it's basically a type of fungus that embeds itself inside of a plant and around the root structures. The root-like mycelium of the fungus extends and reaches very far underground to pull in moisture and nutrients to the plant- somewhere around 90% of all plants on Earth have mycorrhizae. I figured it'd be a good investment, and so far it's looking good
