I read with interest Dr. E's note (12/30) "Treatment for pests in Carpathian
Walnuts." I was most interested in her suggestion that herbs and natives
such as thyme and marjorium and natives would improve fungi in the soil.
I'd like to know more about this. I was under the impression that many
natives did not form mycorrhizal relationships. Apparently, I'm mistaken.
Perhaps Kirk would like to make some suggestions for natives?

Thanks!
Paulette

"Plant a fungal-dominated over-story crop plant - like strawberry, or thyme,
or lavender (a SHORT cultivar, from seed, not bunches, please), or marjoram,
or some other native perennial herb (get Kirk to help you choose a good
native)."
