Should i use this when potting soil to get a head start in my root enviroment . . . . ?
Root Bloom Premium Endomycorrhizae and Bacterial Inoculant - The goods and no fluff.
Pure Endos
Most other blends available are a mix of endos and ectos (and are predominately ectos). 85% of plant species form a relationship with endomycorrhizae, whereas only 10% form a relationship with Ectomycorrhizae (and most of these are trees). Root Bloom offers you the option to inoculate your short-crop annuals with what they need, and not waste your money on the wrong organisms! Built on the principle modeled in nature that diversity is the key to success... we chose a formula with multiple endomycorrhizae strains to allow the plant and soil to choose what species best suites it.
To Trichoderma or Not To Trichoderma?
Trichoderma is an omni-present organism in most soils naturally. And where it has been shown to do many beneficial things in relationship to plants, it has also been shown to eat indiscriminately pathogenic and beneficial fungi alike. So why would anyone choose to inoculate mycorrhizae at the same time as Trichoderma? Its like releasing bunnies and bloodhounds at the same time... not a spectacle I care to imagine. If you have a soil borne fungal pathogen, by all means let loose the hounds, otherwise, keep them on a leash.
