I am trying a 2.2 lb bag of rhizophagus intraradices (have not looked it up) because it qas the cheapest option so far.  This was applied in a hugel-bed system, (3), 30' rows.  Then added local horse manure and more powdered rhizophagus, for upper and lower strata of beds.  Turns out the manure was probably contaminated with these newfangled amyloids and carrots, spinach, peas, celery, beets 2" after 2.5 months, only brassicacae somewhat normal, an indicator/symptom of the weed killer.  

May try grinding up some oyster mushrooms too, as they seem to be best known for eating toxins.  Have not had great luck with oysters inmixed/random media bedding.

Is it "normal" to read 120v at my Combiner Box on top of the roof, which would mean the inverter is sending an AC signal up to the combiner box?

I have purchased 24 reconditioned, AGM, 90A 12v truck batteries at a local, used battery store in Albuquerque, for $50 (now $65) each, and feel I have figured put a way to get the benefits of maintenance-free, durability, economy, and finally, Replaceability, as these batteries can be sourced and replaced virtually anywhere, as oppossed to the expensive, "solar" batteries.

My system is 48 V.  I have 20, "175 watt" panels, and often/always shut 15 of them down because the huge battery bank is often charged up within a few hours of sunlight with only 400-500 watts of true input, and the excess energy is a tax on my system.  I turn the other 15 on when I am running larger power tools (1800watt) for more than 30 minutes, so as not to use the battery life span for these tasks.
