I actually have some...<g>
Nature's Aid
Contains Rhizobium leguminosarum, biovars viceae and phaseoli, and 
bradyrhozobium spp.
Whatever all that is... :) Various bacteria species I suppose...
I got it from Gardens Alive, I think, supposedly an all natural legume 
inoculant.
Gosh, I never even thought about inoculants...
The package says: "Bacteria contained in the inoculant converts nitrogen 
from the air into a form available to the plant."
So cool!  Thanks Lynn!!!
