mycorrhiza

[wxcrawler]

I figured that given there are so many species of myco, they wouldn't all be useful for the same things, unfortunately.

Are you going to try grafting to some supposedly resistant tomato varieties, or another species, like eggplant?

I am grafting Captain Lucky, Aunt Ginny's Purple, Break O'Day, and KARMA Peach to Estamino rootstocks. I actually did the grafting yesterday. We'll see how they do over the next few days. It's my first time trying it, other than a practice run in the Fall where my success rate was 50%.

That's exactly what mine are recovering in. I have a clear tub from WallyWorld. Not sure on the size, but it looks like an 18 gallon tub. I have a wifi thermometer in there to make sure the humidity is right. I covered the tub with a blanket for darkness. As of late last night (Thursday night), they were at Hour 54 and still looking good. I think the next 72 hours will be the most important. I based my recovery plan on some of the great posts about grafting here at the Junction and on T-ville. We'll see how they look in a few more days.

I am trying mycorrhizae for the first time this year. Last year I used trichoderma in the tomato planting holes. This new product has a combination of trichoderma, endo, ecto and bacillus.

What was the reason that you went with the estamino over other rootstocks?
