We reproduce these MM in solid (as I just showed you) and liquid form. In liquid form, they look like this. Here you can see all the MM reproducing in the barrel, which we will later apply to our trees. You can see a difference in the growth and vibrancy of the trees that have received applications of MM, and those that haven’t.
