Ep. 85 - Molasses in the Garden: Yay or Nay?

12 min • 12 april 2022

I’ve done plenty of garden myth episodes before on this podcast so when the subject of molasses in the garden was brought to my attention, it piqued my interest. I do know that molasses as a food has a good amount of nutritional value for us as humans and it stands to reason that those same nutrients would be good for the soil microbes and for our plants. But does it make sense to use molasses as a treatment for your garden soil or for your compost pile or are there better alternatives out there for feeding our favorite soil bacteria? And would using molasses even work? Let’s dig in and find out.
