Wow. Interesting. Keep us updated. I’m curious to know if it attracts pests. Your plants look beautiful!😍

i’ve been looking into trying this recently. most sources recommend using unsulphured blackstrap molasses, the kind many people use in baking. it’s full of minerals and many micronutrients plants need, as well as readily available sugars. i might have to start adding a touch of molasses to my watering can

How do you administer it? Specifically, how do you add the molasses in a way that it doesn’t all sink to the bottom in a clump? Is so sticky.
