Have got a couple of packets to try. Its organic, a live culture of
harmless bacteria. You coat the seeds with this powder prior to
planting. What it claims to do, is fix the nitrogen in the plant to
produce better and bigger pods. Has anyone used this before and with
what results?

Up in the far north, we need all the help we can get!

I've used it and it does seem to work. Soaking the seeds for a few
hours before planting seems to work, too. Try it both ways, seed is
cheap. -aem

How would you know that the inoculation of rhizobia works? Rhizobia
exists naturally in the soil. An inoculation speeds things up the first
time, but once you have grown legumes, the population of rhizobia in the
soil is much higher. It seems like throwing good money away.
