I was told quietly by a rep of one of the innoculant companies that this would work. I promised him I wouldn't quote him. I believe that alpine has stated that their product can be mixed with some innoculants as well. I repeat as I have said other places on this forum that you should not leave this mixture overnight , the bacteria cannot withstand the salts indefinitely and the phos can separate from some kinds of water and the pure phos will kill the inoculant. Basically you mix and plant right away and make sure the water and phos mix in a mason jar or something before you start and NO CHLORINE. I have read somewhere an inoculant companies recommendation for using the product mixed with water and applied in the trench. I can't remember where(maybe on the label). Please research this carefully before you try it. I don't want to be responsible for someone else's wrecks. I create enough of my own. And this has the potential to create a wreck if not done properly. My planter puts the product through Keaton Seed firmers and there is product right on the seed in the trench so it pretty much has to work as well as granular if you put a high enough population on. I remember seeing the official recommendation for the water and innoculant mixture in the trench after planting last year and thinking that the rates they were recommending were much higher than what I had used.
