Has anyone used Myke's growth stimulants? How well did it work for you if you did and which one of their products did you use? Is this the same as Mycorrhizal Fungi?

Hey, I used that last year, somebody sent me some from a Wal-Mart in Canada. I also used Rootshield. I feel one or the other, or both, helped protect my root systems but that's hard to quantify, it wasn't a good year anyway.

Kyle Ive seen it many times and even had it in line at the chechout one time, but I put it down. I should have bought and used it. First year growing lessons are hard learned.

I've ordered another jar of Rootshield and have 25# of Mycorrhizae. At the least it's innocuous...won't hurt anything.

Joel Holland's BioGrow Endo Plus is a nice package deal. At $17.00 this appears to be enough to innoculate two plants at least three years or six plants for sure. It contains the principle mycorrhizal fungus and the same contents as Rootshield plus a growth stimulant. I value the stimulant roughly equal to useing kelp and or seaweed.I can just as easily see this amount doing eight or ten plants at transplanting time. Take am old large salt shaker and dust the seedling ball good and the job is done. That's it! No need to reinocculate as the plant expands.

Thanks for the help. I checked out their website and I think I'll give it a shot this year. I'm going to do a test with the seed starting mix in the next week. I'll let you all know what happens and how it works.

I picked up some Mykes vegetable garden today at Canadian Tire store for less than $10 Canadian. I don't know if there is a difference between that and the stuff that Joel sells, but at least I don't have to try to get it across the border.
