Craig was looking for a way to increase his tonnage while reducing his input costs, just like everyone else is. After hearing from a friend of his how many people have seen those exact results with Rhyzogreen, he figured he might as well give it a try. You gotta be willing to experiment in agriculture, after all.
After he sprayed his control and test plots, just 2 weeks later he couldn't believe the visible different in his alfalfa. You can see the exact line where Rhyzogreen was applied!
That was just above the surface though. He did some soil digs and noticed some major changes in the soil that was applied with Rhyzogreen. Like Craig says, "I think everyone that's involved in anything realizes it starts in the soil."
