Well this year I used MycoGrow. Last year I used Mykos. Both worked well for me.
There are several mycorrhizal inoculants on the market. I can't recommend one over the other as I haven't trialed them side by side. But both those two above I did trial compared to no inoculant. Both did better. Both regimes grew better, both withstood heat and drought better, and both yielded better to my controls. The only difference I saw between the two products was that the Xtreme product seemed to also help protect against my neighbors walnut trees a bit better. Although both gave me a crop under walnut trees, where the controls died when too close to the walnuts. Keep in mind I grow in the soil, not containers. So I am no expert on this in the container environment. I would expect them to be similar. However, you might want to confirm that with a container expert.
