I don't think NFB. can live on their own in the soil. I do know that NFB have
to breathe through legume plants and the N is fixed in the roots of the
legume. Whenever we plant a legume we have to inoculate the seed with NFB.
There are special NFB.strains for different legume plants... Bob.

Thanks. I also found some stuff that said that it didn't persist very
long in the soil. Anyone else know anything?
