Mycelial Composting Tube
Made from olive waste, for adding microbial agents
Mycelial Composting Tube is crafted from waste generated during olive tree cultivation. Olive tree compost collected within the tube is processed with mycorrhizal fungi, white rot fungi, and other agents to decompose it into organic matter, serving as a nutrient source. Biodegradable tube uses a circular fertilization method, integrated with CRZ to establish mycorrhizal symbiosis. This enhances nutrient absorption, improves soil structure, and boosts resilience to environmental stress. During olive tree stages, microbial agents or plant waste can be added to meet various nutrient requirements.
