I bought a bag this year, and I have used some of it on my Pumpkins, and Cucumbers.

Will keep you informed of the outcome.

What I use is called Mycorrhiza -Symbios Pumpkin Pro, by RTI.

Extremepumpkinstore

It is sold for Pumpkins but will work with any plants.

Tom is one heck of a expert on soil. You can talk to him and he can tell you how to admend your soil when you get your results back. He was also a chef. I call him Dr. Dirt. He is tops in my book.

That I did Bill, both as a stand alone when applying just Actinovate and also when I applied the Microbe Tea that was brewed with Actinovate. Just received my Microbe Tea refill pack from T&J and have 2-2oz packs of Actinovate so I be ready for the new season. Seedling plant out scheduled for May day weekend. Ami
