What is the best Bio-inoculant you have used or heard of???

[living gardening]

I have some pi$$ poor soil and I need help getting some life back into it!
I have started to inoculate with em1, some compost extracts, earthworm castings, and compost. My compost has a ton of root feeding nematodes though!!
I have treated with predatory nematodes but I am growing some REALLY EXPENSIVE plants (15-25 bucks PER seed). I am looking to ramp up my fungal to bacterial ratio. I moved from zone 4b to zone 9b and am kinda starting over with some knowledge. Maybe someone knows how to really jump start the fungal colinization of the woody compost I have. I don't have mushroom substraight I used to have. . .
Any suggestions??

You said it ….. PISS

Piss (free trade, sustainable, non-gmo, conflict free, organic) , good local quality compost, and good local fresh ewc. That's where I'd start.

Help! What's the best Bio Inoculant you have used???

I have new soil and am dealing with root feeding nematodes currently. I have inoculated with predatory nematodes but I need to ramp up my Fungal to Bacterial ratio. I am growing some rather expensive plants (15-25 bucks a seed) and need that sweet spot. I want to know what you have used to help...

Are you sure they are root-eating nematodes tho? I feel like it would be unusual to see them in compost, where there are no living roots for them to feed on...?

Malted barley powder and moisture. Ewc over top.

your going to need some extra nitrogen, as the nitrogenus bacteria will be buisy chomping away on your woody compost, instead of being available to your plants,

 

[MICHI-CAN]

Mycellium from white oak dead falls or seasoned cut for 4 years. Peel the bark and it is light gold. Free to top.

Bokashi has some great fungii.
What species are you looking at using?
