If the fig is planted in a well draining soil like it should be....mulch is
the answer to keeping moisture around new planted fig trees.
I do have 80 already in ground growing figs, and a little experience
with what actually works and what does not.

If you use compost or manure you already are supplying
the needed organisms for healthy roots.

Ive never added any special fungi and have always had good results.

Doug you actually did add special fungi by adding compost and manure :).  I know what you mean though.  I have never used any products for mycorrhizal fungi, however I use compost, manure, and all kinds of organic matter for mulch.  Then the stage is set, the matter is inoculated with the fungal matter, then the real trick is to feed the fungus things it likes so that it continues to thrive.

First HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to every mom out there! Second, Tennesseefig you are so on target! Understanding the myco/plant relationship can give your figs such a great advantage. The rice-potato water can be enriched with molasses. Over the last year I have found that, as another member put it, "rabbit poop is gold"! Create the best environment and your figs will clearly benefit and so will you.
