Farming- a bunch of catastrophies that result in a lifestyle

has anyone used this on their pumpkins? the tomato folks love the stuff, and pumpkins and tomatoes use a lot of the same 'stuff'. It says it has Mycor, and a host of other beneficial bacteria that help break down soil into available nutrients. I was thinking about putting a Tablespoon in each planting hole and then using it as a side dressing around june-july time frame. What do you guys think of this stuff?

I have used it for a several years. I put it in the bottom of the peat pot, in the planting hole and at root nodes. I also use Espoma Biotone Starter Plus, that has a whole different set of beneficial bacteria. I also used it on long gourds last year and grew a personal best, by about an extra 40". I think it has helped.

I also mix the mycos with these ferts so I get a dood shot of mycos at the nodes.

Thanks! I was worried about mixing it with my mycor. I like the beneficial bacteria aspect- anything that gets the nutrients to the plant better cant be all bad.
