Russell, Inoculate is what you put on the seed to make sure the organism is there for the plant to produce nitrogen since they are a legume. It cost $3-$4 for a package. You will have beans without it but that is a cheap source of organic N. Every gardener should obtain their N from green manure/cover crops such as beans, peas, alfalfa, clover, etc.
