http://www.espoma.com/content.aspx?type=p&id=37&intCategoryID=2 Do you think this would be good to use on my plants?

IMHO I think this product might be useful when first transplanting the seedlings into the patch. After that, I would question whether or not the mycor would make it down to the roots where it needs to be (there has been quite a lot of discussion about this on this board.)

Epsoma makes a nice product, this is a light all around fert.

Mycorrhizal fungi are in spore form until they come in direct contact with the roots of the plant. They will not travel through the soil. I don't think you would receive much benefit in this regard if just used as a soil drench or foliar application.

Looks like a great product to me,,,,(it's a granular Tad),,, I don't see why that wouldn't work as it breaks down the roots will seek it out, absorb it, and become inoculated.

I use something similar here and have been very happy with the results.

I've used it for a couple of years on the lawn and when I first till in the garden. I've been happy with the results.

This is the third year that the BioTone line has been on the market.

It also contains benificial bacteria witch IMHO is great plus. Lightly work it in out in front of your vines as you trench and bury you will get it good contct with the root zone.

I glad that you asked this question, thanks. I have been using the Biotone mixed in the soil that I use to bury my vines. It does have an almost balanced fertilizer. It for me, is certainly easier to get than straight Myco.

I purhased it this spring at a job lot. My Agway did not carry it. I used it on the small plants, when transplanting not only my AG's. It is light and will not hurt. Great product.
