GARDEN COMBO INOCULANT

Description

Legumes are a vital component of sustainable gardening. Unlike other crops, legume plants extract nitrogen from the air and fix it into the soil in a form that is readily available to plants. They do this by naturally forming a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia bacteria, which work with the plant to form nodules on the plants’ roots that then accumulate usable nitrogen. Some is used by the legume plant itself, and the excess is released into the soil for other plants to use. This entire process is called nitrogen fixing and occurs only if there are sufficient populations of the proper rhizobial bacteria in the soil. Our inoculant contains live rhizobial bacteria and is easy to use. Simply dampen seed and coat with inoculant immediately prior to planting. Our Garden Combo Inoculant is specially formulated to inoculate a wide range of garden legumes including beans and peas along with our vetch and Sunn hemp cover crops. Use your inoculant the year you purchase it, as it is a live product and expires at the end of the calendar year.
