Why Molasses
- Increases beneficial microbes
- Provides trace nutrients
- Increases nutrient availability
- Provides pest control
- Increases yields (See below References 1 & 2)
- Reduces nitrogen loss during composting (See below reference 3)
Ingredients
- Spray dried high quality certified organic non-GMO molasses
- 8X Concentration of liquid molasses
How to Use
Root Drench: Mix 1-5mL per liter (4-20mL/gallon) of water. Water plants to feed pre existing beneficial bacteria in the root zone.
Foliar Spray: Mix 1-2mL per liter (4-8mL/gallon) of water. Spray leaves of plants, especially the under sides, to help support healthy leaves.
Compost Tea: Dilute 5-15mL per liter (20-60mL/gallon) of tea blend.
This will give the microbes enough time to multiply without overcrowding and competing with each other.
Nutrient Analysis
- Carbohydrates and Vitamins to feed plants and microbes
- Vitamins B1,B3, B5, B6, & Choline
- 25-35% reducing sugars
- pH(10% solution) 5-6
Why Gardin's Premium Molasses
-
Premium quality: Our powdered molasses is made only from certified organic, food grade unsulphured black strap molasses.
-
Dry Powder: Powdered molasses allows for uses liquids don't, including dressing and dusting. Additionally, powdered molasses is easier to deal with and has a longer shelf life.
-
100% Soluble: We wanted a molasses that would quickly dissolve so that it could be used in hydroponic systems, fed through irrigation, and used in foliar sprays.
-
No filler: Most dry molasses is actually grain or soy granules that have been sprayed with molasses. Ours is pure organic molasses with organic maltodextrin to keep it shelf stable.
-
Organic & Non-GMO: Gardin's molasses is USDA Organic and non-GMO certified. It is also made in the U.S.A. to avoid shipping products across the globe.
-
Affordable: Many other options cost up to 10x more than Gardin's molasses, despite being lower quality.
