This is a new product to me. It just arrived on the shelves of the local Lowe's This is really a good product worth anyone's review and use. It has an organic NPK of 4-3-3, contains 15 named colony forming live bacterias and 7 ECTO AND 2 ENDO Mycorrhizal Fungi in high enough counts to be effective. This product featuring both types of Mycorrhiza will be good for everything growing or to be planted on your property.

I found it in a four pound package. General use suggested: four pounds per hundred square feet tilled into the top four to six inches of soil. Bulbs: one tsp per bulb hole. (that's a light pinch) Potting mixes: twenty pounds per cu. yd or 2.25 cups per cu. foot. 4 inch indoor pots... refer to bulbs. Indoor use no more than twice a year with no other fertilizer.

Because of biology content (living bacteria and sleeping fungi) the shelf life for maximum value should not be more than two years.

I have never seen a package of goodness like this commercially available in one product until right now. In my opinion this is a fine relatively fool proof bag of great helpers for anyone's soil.
