Xtreme Gardening MYKOS Pure Mycorrhizal Inoculant - 20 lb

The 20 lb size suits growers who inoculate many containers, beds or transplants through a season. It is more than a hobbyist needs for a few pots, and it fits regular indoor growers and larger operations. Rates scale from a tablespoon for a small container to cups for large ones.
