When you buy woody plants from us, our basket butler calculates the amount of Rootgrow granules your order needs, and offers it to you with a click. That’s how important Rootgrow mycorrhiza are for your roots: you can’t see them, but those roots are most of the value when you lay down cash for a plant.
Why is the Gel Necessary for Applying Rootgrow?
You can sprinkle Rootgrow granules directly onto roots in a hole. This works fine for plants with fibrous, netted roots that hold the granules.
But with plants that have quite smooth, knobbly, non-fibrous roots, a gel dip fixes the Rootgrow in contact with the root knobbles, where it needs to be.
When slit planting small hedge whips in numbers, out in the field, sticking them in a large builder’s bucket of watery Rootgrow gel is convenient for the job itself, and spreads your Rootgrow evenly over your plants.
Using Gel with Rootgrow Granules
How to Plant Quickly Without Gel, Applying Dry Rootgrow
When you’re working out on a long country hedge, sun or rain, with however many lots of small, 40/60cm tall whips, withoutbuckets of water to make the gel, you could:
Wiggle open a V shaped planting slit
Sprinkle in a nice pinch of Rootgrow from the bag in your pocket, or flicked from the bag’s one cut corner, aiming to the middle but dusting the sides too
Slide in a tree or hedge whip
Sweep the ends of the roots down to the bottom, often with your hand, or digging tool
Firm the plant in with the heel of your boot; where the ground is soft, maybe first slide in your spade next to the slit and wiggle it closed, then gently back kick the slit sideways.
Step sprightly as a bird onto the next digging position.
This is easier to do in pairs: first a digger and a sprinkler-planter working along a row, then the digger comes back from the end planting
This gets the majority of the Rootgrow granules onto the ends of roots directly. That’s where the new growth will be, and the fungi should, fingers crossed, colonise well.
