How do you use dry molasses to feed plants?

Answer by  case (1261)

I would place a little molasses in a watering can and add water. I would only put this water on the soil where the plants is. If you get the molasses water mixture on the plant it may drawn unwanted insects like ants. I would stop using the molasses water mixture if I see a decline in the plants health.

Kudos to you for choosing this great organic plant food! This will add sulphur, potash, carbohydrates and a number of trace elements vital to plants. If this is for bedded plants, you want 1/2lb per 100sq feet. You can also kill unwanted weeds and grasses with this. Consult your organic garden center for further uses and directions.

Put dry molasses ten to twenty pounds every one thousand square feet. This will help keep the pests away and help the plants to flourish. Don't forget to water your plants. You wouldn't want them to dry up.

Mix less than a teaspoon per gallon, and feed it to your plant once every 2-3 months. It's important not to use too much, or apply too frequently.
