I should add that MyCore Plus Seed Inoculant is a powdered product, and as such it is great to dust your seeds with after soaking them, or even include it in your seed soak solution.

Hey guys and girls...get used to the word "propagules". Look what is in this product and ask what is label guaranteed, in any other product you may consider. Then relate, to the additives. An eight ounce jar, of this quality is likely enough, for most hobby growers, well into three years after which you should consider buying new fresh stock.

There is a difference, of opinion, in what I am about, to say, but "Inoculation is inoculation". Once done in any manor is completely done, for that plant, for that entire season. Therefore a pinch, in the potting soil is absolutely all that you need, to innouclate a plant. Two pinches shared into the seedling planting hole done that way is all that is needed. I use a salt shaker with the head holes enlarged, for the mycorrhizae.

It, to the best, of my knowledge, does not hurt, to use more mycorrhiza, but you can not re-inoculate or improve inoculation buy using more.

In the case, of this product, consideration being given, to mycorrhiza applied, your $3.33 a year, for three years would inoculate at least twenty five plants a year each, of the three years. I'll let someone else determine the value, of the added items mixed into this product. Staying 100% positive I guess if just one, of the added items corrected just one unknown problem their presence would be priceless.

So what your saying is not to go by the suggested directions."3.5 ozs per cubic ft". of potting mix. With additional amount,"1oz per every 4"dia of planting holes".Can this be true?????????

In so far as myhcorrhizae is concerned when one root touches one spore the inoculation is completed, on that plant, for as long as that plant shall live.

Expansion, of the mycorrhizae, is so fast that the next leaf joint and associated new roots have the mycorrhizae there and waiting for it. I personally inoculate my whole years worth, of total gardening with about two ounces, of mycorrhizae. For instance....a pinch or so will inoculate a whole pound, of onions using the drench method. If one out of four or six get inncoulated the expansion, of the mycorrhizae from those innoculated will include the few missed, by my miserly methods.

No one has to inoculate each acorn that falls in the forest because all, of the brood trees are supported, by huge clusters, of mycorrhizae. The germination, of the acorn, is in the net, of an area living mycorrhizae web. That supporting network stays alive because the tree stays alive from year, to year.
