Make Molasses Fertilizer From: Michael Vanecek Date: Sat Oct 18, 2003 6:46 pm Subject: Re: {OHG} Jon . . . fertilizing with molasses? Liquid molasses - 1-3 Tablespoons to the gallon. Granular molasses (from feed stores) - 10lb per 1000 sq ft. Remember - molasses is sugar - apply *very* infrequently and sparingly lest you suffer rot problems due to sugar induced bacterial bloom. Once annually on the lawn and garden. Perhaps the same in potted plants too. I predigest my molasses in my humus tea fermenter to avoid bacterial bloom - I mix in vermicompost and aerate it for 24 hours. That way I can use it more to reap more benefits like the trace minerals present and am able to boost microbial levels in the soil and on plant surfaces pretty safely. Have fun, Mike
