I would like to learn about products that have these microbes in them as well if they actually do help or if proven to be beneficial. I'm just hearing so much hype around my town about this that I thought i should ask someone out side the community. I think of worm castings and stuff, but there talking about liquid fertilizers, likes their pure bacteria in there. Anyways hopefully you can clear things up with me and I learn a thing or two. Bye From some guy out in cyber world.

There is this stuff you can get at a hardware store that you put on organic material like grass clippings that help it compost and turn it into fertilizer.

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but bacteria help plants "fix" nitrogen so they and other plants can use it. Nitrogen is one of the three main chemical fertilizers for plants.
You can buy a "soil innoculant" that contains these kinds of bacteria that is used when seeds of legumes (plants like peas and beans that will fix nitrogen) are planted.
I think these will help you: http://soils.usda.gov/sqi/concepts/soil_biology/bacteria.html
