Message: [QUOTE="Meadowlark, post: 303659, member: 7117"] Reading about her work, it seems she has found that using selected bacteria in combination enhances nitro production. It has been long known that inoculates increase nitrogen fixation, but her twist seems to be co-inoculation. I've personally used inoculation for decades but not co-inoculation. This table illustrates: The ⭐ rating reflects [B]how effective[/B] each bacteria is for that crop. ❌ means [B]not useful or not applicable[/B].

I found it stunning that she apparently does not focus on Sunn Hemp which in my growing experience is by far the superior nitrogen fixing agent. [/QUOTE]
