We did trials on some of our lily beds with this product
in spring 2002, and the results were overwhelmingly
positive! Our results were very comparable to what the
company reports, most noticeable was the size of plant
above ground and the root system below - larger than
those planted without MYKE. Worthy of noting is that
in Summer 2002 we experienced extreme drought conditions
at our location, despite this the lilies planted with
MYKE at their base that spring outperformed those planted
without. Also, in Spring 2003 we established another
new bed of lilies, and despite late spring planting
these lilies were spectacular. Again, our location was
suffering from very dry conditions until mid June that
season. Many experienced lily growers were astounded
to learn this new bed had been planted only months before.
MYKE is available in 1.5 litre plastic container filled
with compost, peat, perlite and beneficial mycorrhizae
fungi to enhance your soil and improve your plant's
resistance to drought and increase water and nutrient
absorption. There are some limitations to use though-with
some levels of fertilization and certain plants it will
not work, so please read this document
(pdf format) carefully before using the product, or
visit www.usemyke.com
for more information. Two formulations are available,
one for annuals/perennials and the other for garden
use. The difference is in the particle size (fine or
coarse), with garden formula in a finer medium for young
seedlings. Highly, highly recommended and completely
organic!
