Subject: Trichoderma

I read the article on the page. I have really nothing against the company.
However, just like the other bio-control, quite often the "control" due to
Trichoderma are not replicable. I know a couple of researchers who quit
doing this because of that.

The article went to say, the fungi were isolated 5 years after inoculation.
Not surprising. This fungus is everywhere. Why do you want to buy something
probably already existing in the potting media? I would focus on disease
control by changing the growing environment. This thing was not expensive,
so it is up to the customer if he/she decides to buy, I guess.
