Other than having very good & healthy trace minerals, the main benefical use for Molasses is... Imagine a very large Buffet is set down in Etheopia, all the free, good food that you can eat. The feeding frenzy would begin. This is what happens in the Microbial life in your soil. It's Microbial feed, that's why it's used to make GOOD Compost Tea. With all this good food, the microbs breed like crazy, causing your compost/soil to break down a lot faster, giving your Babies a greater ability to absorb the needed Nutes. Even the old dead & dying microbes build your soil up. To accelerate the breakdown in the compost pile, add molasses.Seaweed is a great admendment, 90 different componets. But added with molasses, both molasses & seaweed becomes more efficient, like adding bacon with eggs. Once the soil is broken down, Zeolite will naturally absorb the Nutes, & spoon feed the rooting system, a balanced, steady intake, as opposed to a LOT of this, then a LOT of something else. Thrive will break it down even better. From finish to end, foliar feed with molasses & seaweed.. you'll get a healthier Lady with no Spider Mite problems.
