honu, Definately a good site. This is only the second site I've seen that addresses the 'PHOSPHOROUS ISSUE'. The other site was T & J Enterprises. Good stuff.
I came across another site that may be of interest to people thinking about giving mycorrhizae a try. Their product consists of coffee grounds impregnated with mycorrhizae and they also sell it in a concentrated form where you can make your own for half the price and all you have to do is provide the used coffee grounds. Site URL below.

Michael, I am using the Chappy's for the first time this year. The label said not to use with inorganic fertilizer. Have you used it with organic fertilizer? If so, was it low in Phosphorus? I am going to make some of those homemade earthboxes. I was going to use Espoma tomato tone for the fertilizer, but may change to a mix of alfalfa meal and earthworm castings, both of which are very low in P. I was also thinking about putting some alfalfa meal and earthworm castings in the planting hole for my innoculated inground plants. I wonder if I should just plant them with nothing in the hole. What do you think?
