Re: [MittleiderMethodGardening] Re: What is Seed Inoculant
I have had more success using the inocculant then the two times I had tried
without it. It made for seedling success and a sturdier plant with in turn
a higher yield. I have used each it each year since I have noticed a huge
difference. Your description is correct.

From what I understand (and I am no expert, someone can correct me on
this), inoculant is an organic booster that contains nitrogen-fixing bacteria
that enable beans and peas to convert and use nitrogen in the atmosphere. It
helps to produce a sturdier plant with a heavier yield. I sprinkle it into
the hole when planting peas, but I don't use it for any other seed. I'd be
interested in hearing about your results of the treated vs untreated when
harvest time comes.

sales person said we should use this to plant our beans. He planted 2 rows
one treated with this stuff and one without. The treated row did much better.
