Garden molasses is a "tonic for the plants" which works by energizing soil microorganisms, the backbone of healthy soil.
Garden molasses is excellent when applied to soil in conjunction with organic fertilizers, or sprayed directly on plants.
Suggested Application:
Shake well before mixing.
As a foliar application (applying to leaves), mix 1 teaspoon of Molasses per gallon of water to make ready-to-use solution. Spray the entire leaf surface of the plant weekly with the solution. Apply early in the morning or in the evening. Avoid the hotter part of the day.
As a soil conditioner, mix 2 tablespoons per gallon of water, and water plants as needed.
This gallon of molasses will treat up to 768 gallons of water for foliar application, or 128 gallons for soil conditioning. That amount will treat up to 1,200 square feet.
