I ordered some native perennial seeds and they arrived with a pack of inoculant included with the seeds. I’d never seen that before. Had to come read your blog to figure out what I was supposed to do with it! Also I’ve noticed some retailers of natives mention that their seeds are pre-treated with it so I figure that it must be an important step.

I have done comparisons of both beans and peas in the same season both with and without the inoculant. The yields are greater: the blossoms more plentiful and the harvest is longer for both beans and peas. In my garden journal I noted a 60% yield increase using the inoculant.

Lisa, Have you compared results of planting the seeds with and without the inoculant? I’ve never used inoculants on peas or beans and have had beans (especially) aplenty, so I’d be interested in knowing the expected yield increase of the extra step.
