There's some speculation that it may not even be worth it when inoculated at the beginning of the plant's life.
I spoke to the owner at Xtreme Gardening and he said that if you have the Water Soluble Mykos you can top dress. The granulated is better for mixing and applying straight to the root masses.
But as CT said and Pheno Mykos is perfect when transplanting. The owner at XG also said it typically takes from 1 wk-3 wks for the spores to fully colonize [ depending on how healthy your root structure already is ]
When using the Granules, pre mix it in the your soil at 10-20% , then like mentioned when you dig the final Hole for transplant you will want to fill that hole with Granulated Mykos so your roots get a first hand exposure and jump start.
Check out my 7.11 Grow Log, I just started using the Granulated Mykos and WS Mykos along with the Azos and ill be spraying with Cal Carb tomorrow.
The plants Love the organic approach- the roots thrive and the plant grows much more vigorously IMO.

just bought some mycorihza granules (not sure how to spell)
can I top dress with this or does it only work if added in the soil , if this is the case could I dig up the first inch of my newest plants and mix it that way ?
You know, I heard this claim from a rep at Mycorrhizal Applications (where 90% of these myco companies source and re-brand their myco anyway, and Mycorrhizal applications gets their VAM from a company in Canada). I remain unconvinced at this point in time due to the nature of the spores. Supposedly if they are 3 mm away from the root hair they will stay dormant for the life of the plant. It just doesn't seem practical to topdress or water in with this consideration in my opinion. This is the same reason I would never mix it into my entire soil mix. Seems like a waste of money. Much better to ensure colonization early in the plant's life by applying it directly to the roots.
As for colonization, I thought I read it was 4-6 weeks, but I may be mistaken on that figure. Again, ITB would know.
