Hi all just wondering what other farmers are finding or thinking of spraying molasses on there country to feed there microbes or using other natural bio liquid fertilizer such as worm liquid preparation's or R.U.M compared to the more traditional way of granular fertilizing such as urea. I have heard using the liquid forms improves the soil structure and better moisture holding.

The non fert camp around here spray out alot of worm juice in crop. It test out ok for the $$ for n and s. Sounds like hippy powder is all the rage on seed, I think it is worm castings ground to powder. Some seem to grow good crops but hard to know how much gear there spraying out and would love to see some soil tests as to what p levels are doing.

Just ask for some research results from an independant source ie.university or govt lab.
If the worm juice is any good someone has studied it and has results to show other than the company selling it

How can you tell if a salesman is lying to you?



His lips move.

Ha ha. So true.

My guess is you already have worm juice in your soil where it belongs.

Use all this with your tractor exhaust & watch your crops grow!

A neighbor of mine mix molasses and urea with his fungicide spray mix... the molasses supposedly lessens the burning effect on the leaves from the urea...

I sprayed 20L/ac of molasses on asparagus this spring with other stuff.It is a sticky mess to clean off.Haven't heard if they thought it helped
