RE: Rooting cuttings with honey - Is it the bees knees?

in #garden5 years ago

Interesting choice to use on roots, IMO. As you mentioned, honey has antifungal properties and root systems rely heavily on fungal relationships. Wouldn’t you want something that harbors beneficial microbial health?

Great post though, thanks for getting me thinking!

Hey @alchemage when i looked heavily in to fruit trees i learnt alot about the symbiotic relation between root systems and fungi etc so i agree with you, but i think in this instance id rather have something to protect from the damaging bacteria/fungus while they recover from the cutting process and the natural rooting process takes place
