No doubt some people are to the point at which they’re prepared for our head to cut to the chase. all of the background about molasses making and the assorted sorts of molasses is good, and understanding how molasses works as a manure is great too, but by now lots of you could be thinking – isn’t it time to find out how to essentially use this wonder product?! So this section of the Molasses Manual is for our birdie buds who are prepared, waiting, and desiring to get going with bringing the sticky goodness of molasses into their garden.

Molasses is a reasonably flexible product, it can function as a plant food as well as an an additive to enhance a manure mix or tea. Dry molasses may be employed as an ingredient in a manure mix, and liquid molasses may be employed alone or as a part in both sprays and soil drenches. Your private preferences and growing style will help to choose the right way to use this natural sweetener for it’s best effect in your garden. We shall try and address the utilization of dry molasses first, though we intend to overtly admit this is an area where we have tiny real experience with gardening use. We’ve definitely mixed dry molasses into animal feed before, so we aren’t absolutely unversed in it’s use. People may remember from our earlier outline of the various sorts of molasses that dry molasses is basically a ground grain waste carrier that has been covered with molasses. This gives dry molasses a semi-granular texture that may be whisked into a feed mix ( for animals ) or a soil mix ( for our fave herbs ). Dry molasses has a consistency that was described by one bird as like mouse crap or rat turds, ( people had to know we would fit a manure reference in here somehow ). The optimum use we will be able to picture for dry molasses in the herb garden is to incorporate it in some type of changed super-soil recipe, like Vic High originally popularized for the weed community.

As we confessed, the utilization of dry molasses in soil mixes isn’t something we have private experience with, at least not yet. We are planning some experiments to find out how a bit of dry molasses will work in a soil mix. We suspect that moderate use should help excite micro-organisms and also help in chelating micronutrients and holding them available for our herbs. The plan is to start testing with one cup of dried molasses added per ten gallons of soil mix and then let our findings guide the efforts from there. Another choice for molasses use in the garden is it’s use alone as a manure. The Schultz Garden Safe Liquid Plant Food is an ideal example of the direct application of molasses as a plant food. Garden Safe products are available from a range of sources, including Wal-Mart. Though we consider them expensive for a sugar beet spinoff, Garden Safe products are fairly cheap, particularly compared against manure acquired from a hydroponics or garden store, and they can serve as a good intro to molasses for the urban herb gardener. Here are the basic instructions a gardener would find on the side of a bottle of this sugar beet spinoff – Mix Garden Safe
