I'm using Down to Earth, Root Zone granular which I mix in during soil recycling/regeneration which appears to be quite similar...

That looks interesting. I'm trying my hand at collecting myco and microbes locally but thinking for my first mix I may need a product like this.

 

[Eyes on Fire]

Im sure that will be fine man.one thing to remember though is variation.you have or buy another type of wettable powder or granule or what have ya.some species provide specific food for some and help thrive a population . just never to exceed the main species though. always boost through a grow or especially once you re amend prior to a new grow or similar.

EoF, you mean I should get more than one innoculant for my initial soil mix? Or wait till later when I re-amend remix the soil.

 

[Eyes on Fire]

I personally prefer a three step system for my soil inoculates.EWC,Bokashi,and steer manure. but if you dont have that I like EM-1 or Bokashi,great white, Bio VAM AG. and many turn and play with one another.just remember though if you use lik a great white for example and you want those types to remain dominant make sure their not over powered and essentially eaten.so balance there is key/but even to just do that when re cooking/re amending is fine too. but all depends on what your using. but any one or two or three of those will do fine..or atleast something comparable.

Hey Eyes while your here... I am going to start mixing my own soil in about 2 grows. I plan on using steer manure and worm castings for my inoculates. I am not going to be recycling my soil. Will these work enough?

 

[Jraven]

Thanks Eyes, sounds like I should be able to do that.
