Mycorrhizal Fungi

Does anyone know if this is available in France? In the uk it is sold as Rootgrow Plus, and is used when planting trees and shrubs. However a good search of the shelves in the large gardening suppliers has drawn a blank. On Google.fr there are scientific papers about it but no hints on where it can be bought.

I'm not sure where you get it, but this product seems to contain "champignons mycorhiziens"

Have a look at their site and perhaps contact them if they don't have a list of outlets.

Thanks for that. It is most helpful.

I know this is something that other people might find useful, if it is what you are looking for.  Can you let us know if it is any good? [:)]

Here's some available my mail order as part of a bio vegetable fertiliser.  I just saw it in my gardening mag today.

It is the offer of the month so I don't know how long it will remain on this link.

Thanks for the additional information. At the moment we need it for planting a few trees and fruit bushes rather than as a general fertiliser. The firm in Lille (your first link) do this among their other products but in a 3,5 kilo bag for 28 € which is enough for a large orchard or a small forest I should think, although delivery in France is free. When we do need a general fertiliser we will go back to them. As time is pressing I have ordered 75 gm of Roodgrow Plus from Buckingham Nurseries in the UK for £2.99 plus £2.50 for p & p; not the most economical solution. 

I will let you know if the stuff works, eventually.
