Re: *organic* SFG?

Doreen,
        Please tell us all more about the Mycorrhizae fungus, like where to get it
and so forth.  Also, I've used Rose Defense (neem) for my roses, and the
bottle says not to put it on food plants.  Seems like it would be OK, since
it is extracted from a food plant, but are you sure?  Also, it is so hard
to keep mixed, have you got any suggestions on how to dissolve it?
