I was just wondering what controls you used to compare the effect of
the Mycorrhizal Fungi. I have been running a test and although I have
not finished and I don't know which bed has the Innoculant, I can't see
a difference yet.
I have two beds with exactly the same soil that get watered with the
same drip system and have the same number of the same plants. The only
difference is that one has the innoculant. Both have the same number of
tomatoes, both had the same number of beans, I got almost exactly the
same amount of zucchini, and my garlics look the same.
When I harvest the tomatoes I will call my friend and see which bed has
the Fungus in it but I think it is clear so far that there is not a
significant difference.
I have seen a lot of comments about Bio Organics products on this and
other lists, but I have yet to see a good comparative test on the
Fungus.
