"Steer clear of molasses...."

What do you base that on? I've been successfully using molasses in my organic fertilizer blend for more than 20 years and have never had a problem. In fact, when I use our proprietary blend and leave the molasses out, I can tell the difference.

Here in Texas, there is some work being done at Texas A&M where they are actually "feeding" trees with sugar compounds applied to the soil. The results aren't in, but if they apply it correctly, I suspect they will have good results.
