If you’ve been strolling through the garden centre lately, you might have noticed the name MYKE popping up more and more. But what exactly is it, and why are gardeners raving about it?
What is MYKE?
MYKE is a Canadian brand specializing in natural gardening products designed to give your plants the best possible start. Their secret ingredient? Mycorrhizal fungi are beneficial microbe that works in partnership with plant roots.
Think of it as a root’s best friend: once introduced into the soil, mycorrhizae attach themselves to the plant’s root system, creating a vast underground network that helps the plant reach water and nutrients it couldn’t access on its own.
Why It Matters
This relationship is powerful:
-
Stronger roots → Plants establish themselves faster.
-
Better absorption → More efficient uptake of water and nutrients.
-
Healthier growth → Plants become more resilient to stress, heat, and drought.
The result? Plants that don’t just survive, but truly thrive.
The Warranty Bonus
Here’s the part gardeners love most: when you use MYKE during planting, your trees, shrubs, and perennials come with an extended 5-year warranty.
That means more peace of mind, more lush growth, and less worry about whether your new planting will make it through the seasons.
Why We Recommend It
Whether you’re planting a flowering shrub, a shade tree, or a row of perennials, MYKE gives your plants a natural boost right where it counts: the roots. Combined with good planting practices, it sets the stage for long-term garden success.
So the next time you spot MYKE on the shelf, you’ll know it’s more than just another product, it’s a smart investment in your garden’s future.
Regarding Myke, I understand that each species or maybe related group of species of plant is associated with a specific mycchorizal fungus. If that is the case, how can a generic mycc fungus work for any, say, tree or shrub?
