Why Molasses?
The reason nutrient manufacturers have “discovered” molasses is the simple fact that it’s a great source of carbohydrates to stimulate the growth of beneficial microorganisms. “Carbohydrate” is really just a fancy word for sugar, and molasses is the best sugar for horticultural use.

Molasses is a good, quick source of energy for the various forms of microbes and soil life in a compost pile or good living soil. Molasses is a carbon source that feeds the beneficial microbes that create greater natural soil fertility. In addition to sugars, molasses contains significant amounts of potash, sulfur, and a variety of micronutrients. Because molasses is derived from plants, and because the manufacturing processes that create it remove mostly sugars, the majority of the mineral nutrients that were contained in the original sugar cane or sugar beet are still present in molasses. This is a critical factor because a balanced supply of mineral nutrients is essential for those beneficial microbes to survive and thrive.
