SUPERCHARGE YOUR SOIL WITH MOLASSES The soil that you use for your plants is one of the most important factors for strong and healthy growth. Good soil contains... nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, along with minerals such as potassium, iron and calcium, as well as many other compounds and nutrients. Each of these compounds is essential for healthy growth of plants but soil also contains beneficial microorganisms which live in it. These microorganisms play a vital role in healthy growth of your plants as well as deterring pests. Molasses is the perfect food for microorganisms, as it gives them the ideal environment to thrive. When you supplement soil with molasses, what you’re doing is feeding the soil and the microorganisms in it. Along with providing the microorganisms with the carbohydrates and sugars that they love to feed on, molasses also has other benefits for the soil. Benefits of Using Molasses - Feeds the beneficial microorganisms already living in the soil - Improves structure and water retention of the soil - Enriches the soil with various essential minerals and vitamins - Helps to prevent the build-up of pathogens that could harm your plants - Acts as a natural insecticide against common pests - Helps minimize the risk for salt build-up in the soil, which could cause nutrient problems Recipe 1-2 tsp (5-10 ml) of Unsulfured Molasses per gallon of water. Brand does not matter. 1) Warm up the jar of molasses by sitting it in a bowl of hot water for 10-15 minutes. 2) Add one or two TEASPOONS (5-10 ml) of the warm molasses to the warm water. Mix until well dissolved. 3) Apply to soil. Apply every 3-4 weeks or as needed. As always start with a weaker mixture (5 ml / gal.) to ensure there are no adverse reactions to the plant.

The idea of worm castings for fertilizer is only part of the benefits. The castings once produced will form a hard coating on the outside protecting the inside. What’s inside is magical , it’s this that instantly creates life once water is added. Filled with living micro bacteria that comes into action and helps the plants root to grow making a healthier plant while it also kills off certain pesticides from chemicals and insects. So if your desire is to have a healthy living style eating organic foods , the best place to start is with organic sterile living fertilizer. This fertilizer is also known as a soil builder.

Been a while since adding anything as been busy getting ready for winter making sure worms are gonna be okay and bare minimum loss. Have been busy trying to make sales and connecting with the right people while promoting worm castings. Still educating myself on Vermiculture and all the amazing benefits with it. Organic does cost but the benefits outweigh the cost. While learning about worms is much easier than learning humans as worms intelligence is survival at all expense ...and humans well we kill our own. Some of the excuses that I have been told by people for not wanting to start a worm farm or compost bin are. I am busy and no time to take care of or watch them. The cost is to high and would be taking jobs away from people. I am afraid of them getting away and causing problems for others. I’m waiting to see if the Green Party gets in. I have to wait to see how the government sees this as helpful. Is there any prof of worms really being useful and if so why are more people not doing it. We are unable to and cannot because we are unsure of what happens here at night and do not want to be responsible for any thing that might happen as no one is here. ????? Well man if getting smarter does not display any visible wisdom in some areas. This is one. Have a worm bin doesn’t mean hours of work and loss of sleep. Worms have been here before man and probably long after so worms do not need watching. FED yes but not watching they may need tending but anyone is capable of having a worm bin for scrapes from the kitchen. What is fed to worms will determine the outcome of the castings and their properties. So though it is a fertilizer it’s most useful as a micro bacteria which live in the castings and help promote healthy root systems while eating certain pesticides from the soil. Thus a very rich soil is produced. Rabbits are bigger with litters coming producing more manure for a more richer product after worms are done feeding in it. See more

Screener being made for worm castings hopefully freeing up much needed time for advertising and promoting a safe healthy organic fertilizer. Safe for plants animals and humans alike. And the adventure begins.
