Anyone Using SoilBlast or MycoBlast Beneficial Soil Bacteria and Mycorrhizae

I was wanting to hear some feedback from all the Free Sticks of SoilBlast and MycoBlast and KelpBlast that we handed out at the shows, stores and sent out in the mail. Figured I would start a thread on beneficial soil bacteria and mycorrhizae. I know that I used them wrong in the beginning and wasted a lot of money and time, so lets talk about beneficial soil bacteria, to brew or not to brew and for how long, when to apply which products, best results and all that good stuff.

You should start it off by explaining a little more about what beneficial soil bacteria is, its expected purpose, methods of application, and perhaps how you had used it wrong and wasted time and money... that part would be good to know so everyone else can avoid making the same mistakes. I just recently started using a new fox farm soil with mycorrhizae and beneficial bacterias, but I just started using it a couple weeks ago so I haven't had a chance to notice anything different yet since most of my plants are still using my old soil type. This is a subject I don't know a whole lot about so I'd like to hear more about it so I can learn more myself, and know what to watch for with this new soil. Hopefully this will become a popular thread and we can all learn a few things.
