I have been thinking of adding this to my plants.
Beneficial Endo Mycorrhizal fungi. It grows on the roots to help them use nutrients and grow better. Any feeling on this will help.
    

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.

Dr. Earth is one brand that has multiple strains of Mycorrhizae in there potting mixes .

This year I tried

KK What do you think of this root growth inoculant?
I do think that if I am going to grow in containers I must look to the hydroponics industry for things that make plants grow better. This also affects fruit taste and yield .There are many things that help our plants grow stronger better.

Simple fertilizer in growing season for containers and  potting mix store bought or homemade with plant getting sun/water is all thats needed.
Root prune when needed.
Keep it simple and they do great.
Been growing them in containers for long time.    ; )

I use MYKOS that is pure Mycorrhizae with the Fertilizer.

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.

Not really sure yet, I didn’t run a side by side but am planning one on parsley seeds soon. Trying some of this on a portion of the garden and some figs.

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.

Also found this

Molasses

AS AN INSECTICIDE

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.

thanks KK yes there are a lot of new things to grow bigger stronger plants. Just keep a open mind and do read all about it. Bigger better sweeter crops is what it is all about.
