You've heard of the world wide web...yeah sure...but what of the wood wide web?
Well...this is exciting stuff. Did you know that plants can form a symbiotic relationship with fungi that allows them to communicate with other plants? Did you know that these fungi can send water and nutrients to plants in exchange for sugars in a way that dramatically assists them to survive drought and poor soil? Do you know that this leads to increased carbon sequestration?
As foresters working in very bad soil conditions...we need to have a go planting with these fungi to see it it can help our work...
I've just ordered a batch of mycorrhiza from MAI Australia . I know that Diggers also sells these amazing creatures.
I'll report back on progress.... but let us know your experience and suggestions with creating a wood-wide-web....too!
