I can't resist this one,

I retired this year and a friend gave me some mycorrhiza inoculant to =
use on my garden.  I tried it on a lot of different plants and tomato's, =
of course, was one of them.  I grew beefsteak tomato's and they ripened =
over a month early.  They were ripe the first week in August here in =
Spokane Washington and continued on through the end of August.  In =
September, a second crop came on and has started to ripen, but the frost =
has arrived and so they probably won't make it.  I rarely am able to get =
beefsteak tomato's to ripen here in Spokane.  We had plenty of them this =
year.  I also tried the Mycorrhiza inoculant on some cherry tomato's and =
they were nice and sweet and plentiful.  I have found that the key to =
using mycorrhiza vam inoculants is to use no preplant fertilizer and no =
fertilizer in the planting hole when you put the tomato in the ground.  =
I used Biosol Organic 6-1-3 fertilizer at 5 weeks.  If you want more =
information, feel free to get hold of me.

Best Regards,
Thomas Giannou
