I'm wondering

Well, we already knew our soils contained some myco, but how much & what varieties we don't know. What I do know is we are growing pumpkins at a rate never before even considered by gardeners. 50+# per day at their peak growing periods is incredible & that doesn't happen in regular average garden soil.

Not much in mother nature except for whales & elephants grow as fast as a giant pumpkin does. We grow 2,000#+ pumpkins in 800-1000 sq ft of space in 100 days. You need lots of food & water to feed a monster like that, so I think the more myco you have, the more nutrients your plant can absorb. I don't think you can have too much myco, but I'm not a mycologist, so I can't be sure. What I can be sure of is that if 90% or more of the growers that grow pumpkins over 2,000# use myco fungi, then there has to be something to it & therefore we will be using it as well. Myco products are like anything else, if you want good quality product, buy from a business that tests & proves it's products work.

We also brew compost tea & use it weekly on the plants. It comes from Ron W. WOW products & I believe it to be a bacterial tea. From what I understand, is that bacterial teas are suited for grasses, gardens & farm crops, where as fungal teas are more for trees, shrubs & forested areas. I'm sure that a bit of fungal tea wouldn't hurt, & might be a big benefit, but I'm not sure. Maybe someone can fill us in more about the benefits of fungal teas for our gardens or a way to incorporate some into our bacterial tea to make a more balanced tea.
