I found this website and was wondering if anyone has tried any products like this.You can put your mouse pointer on each bag and click on that product in the big picture and get info on each product it shows at:
http://www.premierhort.com/website/afhome.html
Or you can look at the following two links:
They have one that has a soil Disease control in this one on that website.

They also have a product that has a mycorrhizal inoculum in it at this link:

We use the black bail "Pro-Mix BX". I get a serious deal from a customer (cost plus freight) on the 5.8 cubic foot bails. I'd estimate I've added about 20 bails of this & another 40 of the regular (no pH adjusted) Peat to the patch over the past 3 years.

The Bio-Fungicide version has Bacillus Subtilis added to it to reduce soil pathogens. Good stuff that we've also added in other forms. I'd recommend this approach to anyone who needs to raise organic matter.

Non-pH adjusted Peat can also be used to gently lower soil pH for those whose soil naturally runs above 7.0. But the rest of us have to compensate with Lime or use the Pro-Mix.

I believe alot of growers are trying to go as organic as possible, put you do have to watch which stuff you put on your patch based on other chemical fertilizer you may use.

I am no expert by a long shot on soil but am trying to learn as much as I can, my main study is breeding/ genetics.

However I have breeded and grown large tomatoes and used a product on my root ball when transplanted called mycorrhizal fungi great stuff but you need to go straight organic or very lttle chemical fert like 5-2-3 any thing higher and it kills the beneficial fungi you create and as well it killed some of my plants that year.

One thing I use alot of now is Peat moss, excellent stuff and you can't over do it.

For building soil organisms and worms use compost which is like their main food source and add peat which the worms love as it is like their junk food....

Peat moss huh, I never thought about adding peat moss, I have a huge bag of this left that my wife uses on her flowers. So I can add as much as i want to my compost huh Ernie? I never used it on my patch because I Was affraid it would hold the water and not drain well. I am going to add the rest of that bag of peat to my compost tomorrow. Thanks Ernie

Do you know about what would be the cost of these products by the big bales for the peat with the myke, the fungicide or the other Pro Mixes? The way it looks is you could not mix the fungicide mix with the mycorrhizal mix because they would work against each other.
I grew this year and hardly used any fertilizers because of the mycorrhizal I used in the soil that I did not want to kill

I'll find out on Wednesady if the client has his 2005 Premier Products quote yet. The baled Promix is too cheap for public print. LOL
