If you are like us and you have poured your heart and soul into your home garden, we understand that it is not just a bunch of plants. It’s your happy place, your own slice of paradise. 

But Mother Nature can be quite an unpredictable gardener herself! She loves surprising us with extreme weather that can make our gardening lives more interesting. 

Extreme weather events can wreak havoc in the garden, causing damage to plants and soil. These events take various forms, and their impact is felt in numerous ways, including excess flooding and extreme temperatures. 

For growers in the Southern Hemisphere, this upcoming summer is expected to bring exceptionally hot and dry conditions following an incredibly wet autumn and winter.

The expansion facilitates greater access to water and nutrients, bolstering resilience, especially in dry conditions. This mycorrhizal web also helps hold the soil together, reducing erosion. 

These beneficial fungi play a pivotal role in reducing the impact of drought stress, enhancing disease resistance, stabilising the soil and generating Glomalin – a crucial component in carbon storage. Read more about carbon storage here.
