Monrovia® Custom Soil Blend (Ecto Mycorrhizae<br />
Inoculant: 3,000,000 viable organisms per cubic foot<br />
and Endo Mycorrhizae Inoculant: 1,900 viable<br />
organisms per cubic foot). The control group was<br />
planted in E.B. Stone Organics Potting Soil®. All<br />
plants were watered three times a week as directed by<br />
instructions. Equal portions of water were given to<br />
each group regularly to insure that the soil was evenly<br />

Plant measurements, from the two groups,<br />
were taken at the end of 36 days of growth. The heights<br />

Results among the two groups were compared<br />
using an unpaired T-test. Differences were considered<br />
