I do agree with what you’re saying but a lot of people do just wanna buy a bottle for a specific reason and don’t make bokashi, keep worms, or compost (I keep worms btw).

Also having read the literature on mammoth p I don’t think there are any mycorrhiza in there, it’s 4 specific strains of bacteria only so microbes yes but no mycorrhiza or other fungi.

i just wanted to point this out cos alot if people just class microbes as “bennies” and mix and match all sorts and can end up with huge fungal/bacterial imbalances

well my feeling is kinda like this this if you’re using bottled microbes you have to be careful because those are highly dense single strain microbial innoculations and applying too much of the same shit may contribute to that specific strain outcompeting the other bennies that are already in there but soil and the plant has a way of balancing itself in the end so a single innoculation would be enough with anything beneficial because if those specific strains of bacteria somehow is not already present in your medium (which i highly doubt that if you’re using high quality organic material) then you’d have introduced it with one application and if the environment is suitable for them they will colonize reproduce etc. other than that constantly adding specific microbes from a bottle for different stages of growth feels more like hydro farming rather than organic soil.

I agree with everything you’ve said, since learning about organics I’ve found the more “holistic” route is best

"JADAM believes microbes are all workers and they work together. Instead of narrowing the pool of microbes we can expand them and incorporate all, because different microbes may have an impact on different nutrients that are available. “Good and Bad,” is something we have created, and in nature microbes live in balance, all the microbes we consider bad are there and yet, they do not cause us problems until things become imbalanced. Even to much “good,” can cause problems when not in balance."
