Hello. I am doing an expirement trying to inoculate hame made biochar with mycelium prior to incorporation into my compacted soil…has anyone had success directly spawning onto biochar (and pancaked layers of pine straw) with wood loving mushrooms like wine cap or oyster?

It is my understanding that, yes, colder temps will effect nutrient uptake to some extent. Soil temps will affect this more than air temps. It will also depend on the form of N that the plant is taking up and if there were any recent rain events. Time of day that the results are taken can also change the results a bit, particularly related…

Anyone care to share what they are doing in broad acre corn for the N efficiency program? I’m working on my own calculations for Humic, Moly, and Carbs (sugar, molasses etc.). In my area we need to put all N down upfront due to logistical problems; maybe down the road I can work on half up front and half from a foliar feeding, but at this…
