Mycorrhizae is a fantastic organic soil additive for almost all plants. In short, the fungus colonizes the root zone and helps the plant absorb nutrients more effectively than the plant can alone by increasing the surface area of the roots that are able to absorb nutrients and by releasing enzymes that help break down elements in the soil into nutrients that are digestible by the plants. I give mycorrhizae two thumbs up! :)

Usually I put on trees when I plant them in ground, I have for vegetables but I think I have enough in the soil to no longer worry about adding it, it just colonizes slower when broken up.

I have used Espoma Holly-Tone, Bio-Tone, Garden-Tone and Plant-Tone with good results. The Espoma products are Organic, Have Micro-nutrients and Mycorrhizae. They are also usually available at most local chain stores (Walmart, Home Depot and Lowes) and nurseries.

Yes KK I find that molasses is very good to use with microbes, in weekly feed for plants. There are many use for it. The microbes brake down the soil and let the plants take up what they need to grow. If you soil is not alive nether will be the plants. Thanks for your input helps to try new things in life.

Yes, it is true. You will not find any university studies on Molasses as an insecticide, but the bottom line is that Molasses is very effective against sucking insects like Lace bugs, Aphids, and Whitefly. Why? this is because Molasses actually increases the natural sugar content of plants (Brix Level). Pest insects cannot dispel the gasses caused by sugars and will leave high sugar plants alone.
Outstanding for controlling Fungal Gnats and Thrips.http://www.sanjacsupply.com/horticulture/organic-pest-control/natural-insecticides/molasses/
