Good morning, Rural Sprout readers,

My phone has just dinged with a notification from the National Weather Service. It appears we’re under a freeze warning for this evening. Not just a frost, but a freeze. Luckily, I’ve been able to quell my desire to get seedlings in the ground.

I’ve been waiting for an order of my favorite mycorrhizae to get here before I plant them out. 

Apparently, this temporary delay was a good thing. If you’re getting ready to transplant seedlings out in the garden, I highly recommend you delay planting, too, at least until you can get your hands on some mycorrhizae.

Of all the things I sprinkle, spray or water my plants with, mycorrhizal fungi have been the biggest game changer – as in a difference I can see.

Now is the perfect time to use it – when planting out seedlings. 

For mycorrhizae to do its thing, it has to come in contact with the roots. If you’re curious about mycorrhizae and have wanted to give it a try, but you’ve felt intimidated, this is the article for you. I'll walk you through how to inoculate seedlings with mycorrhizal fungi. I promise it’s easier to do than it is to say.
