Anyone used Tomato Thrive? - Page 2

Trashlot · May 10, 2010

I've tried the Vegetable Thrive and had good results. I'm pretty sure they're all the same strains of bacteria/fungi, just different pretty colored labels. It's impressive to see plants in healthy soil take off after drenching with this stuff. Even more impressive is to watch transplants in a poor-soil raised bed do the same. It does what it says, it puts some life back into the soil, and if the soil is already healthy the plants really do thrive. I'm not gonna say it's lightning in a bottle, but you definately get some bang for your buck. Try it.

The thing about this product and I'm sure there will be more to follow is there are no Tomato specific Fungi or Bacteria. There are types that are effective with vegetable crops and there are types that are effective with forests and woody type plants. Now with fertilizers we know what the nutrient requirements are for different types of vegetables and can make blends that work best with that particular cultivar. But to say the same thing about Myco's is just plain ludicrous. Ami

By the way, I was just wondering, and figured I would ask, is there any way for Actinovate, Mychorizze, and Azospirillum to be combined in one product? Is there rumor of such a thing for the future?, or does it already exist and I am unaware of it?
