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. |
Molasses should be ok in moderation, should speed up bacterial breakdown and therefore increase worm activity and ground should become more fertile. as the trees grow and shed leaves then a natural mulch will form and as I said earlier let nature do the rest. trust in the natural balance of the natural world, only man messes everything up!
