Many different bacteria/fungi have a sybiotic relationship with roots. Any
gardencenter will sell garden/bean innoculant. It makes a large diference
with beans peas ect. but i doubt it would help any other plants much. If
you want it for trees just go to any well established grove or orchard and
dig up a shovelful of dirt. Bury it in your yard and the colonies of
fungus will spread from it.
