I think all the different microbe products are amazing but you said it, "INEXPERIENCE"!! I only started giving notice after I was applying them together and too frequently prolly, while not getting the plant response I should be getting. I backed off and started using them on there own and not near as much.....And plants have never been happier. My vege garden is gonna love it too b/c I have a shelf full of dry microbial products that I can't possibly use in time unless I want to keep fighting the balance, and not getting full potential.
