Big Foot Mycorrhizal Fungi Granular Root Inoculant — 2 lb (Treats 240) high-spore formula for faster transplant establishment

Big Foot Mycorrhizal Fungi Granular is a granular inoculant that colonizes roots to help transplants establish faster and support larger, healthier plants.

Gardeners and growers use this granular mycorrhizal blend at transplanting or potting to improve root access to water and nutrients. Packaged as a 2-pound bag with a high spore count (60,000 mycorrhizal spores), the formula is designed for simple application to bare roots or mixing into potting mixes. It’s made in the USA by a family-led team with decades of experience in beneficial soil microbes, and the product is formulated for long-lasting colonization that persists as the plant grows.

How does this product help new transplants establish?

The mycorrhizal fungi form a network around roots that increases the effective root surface area, improving uptake of water and immobile nutrients. That encourages quicker root growth and reduces transplant shock so plants recover and put energy into shoots and fruit sooner.

• Granular form applies directly to roots or blends into potting soil for immediate contact.
• High spore count provides broad colonization potential across many plants.
• Supports root branching and early root extension for faster establishment.

What kinds of plants and situations is it best suited for?

This product is formulated to work with a wide range of plants — ornamentals, vegetables, fruit trees, shrubs, lawns, and container specimens. It’s especially useful during stressful periods such as transplanting, drought, or repotting when root support can change outcomes.

• Use at planting for garden beds, trees, and shrubs to jump-start root systems.
• Apply to potted plants and seedlings to increase survival and vigor.
• Suitable for lawns, raised beds, and container plantings where soil life is limited.

How do I apply the granular mycorrhizae for best results?

Application is straightforward: place granules against bare roots at transplant, mix into the planting hole, or incorporate into potting mix before inserting the plant. For containers, blend the recommended amount into the soil; for larger trees and shrubs, place granules around the root ball and backfill.

• Direct root contact: sprinkle granules on roots before planting for immediate colonization.
• Soil mixing: work into potting mix for container and nursery use.
• Dosage covers many plants — the 2-pound pack treats approximately 240 transplants based on the manufacturer’s coverage guidelines.

Will this product remain active in the soil long term?

Once the fungi establish on a plant’s roots, the benefits persist as part of the root system’s biology. The inoculum is designed to enable long-term symbiosis, so a one-time application at planting often provides season-to-season advantages as plants mature.

• Long-lived colonization means fewer repeat applications for established plants.
• Works safely around people and pets when used as directed in gardens and containers.
• Manufactured in the USA by a family-based team with long experience in mycorrhizal products.

Who is this for? Home gardeners, small-scale growers, landscapers, and anyone potting or transplanting plants who wants a simple, science-based soil amendment to improve root performance. It’s particularly useful for those planting many transplants, working with containers, or aiming to boost plant resilience during early growth stages.
