Re: Spring time Fertilizer!!! TS I am very familiar with the soil food web and have been practising with compost teas and organic phc for years. Read carefully and I am saying that mollases which is our most varied form of sugars applied as a food source in a controlled environment where we are specifically targeting beneficial and disease supressing organisms is good. Feeding those organsims and others with kelp as you mentioned, molasses fulvic acid, humic acid etc.etc this gives us a biodiversity that we can then innoculate the soil with confident that we have excluded all disease causing organisms. They have been fed outside the tree system and cultured and targeted specifically...then delivered to the rhizosphere for the tree to activate them or deactivate them as the tree unit sees fit.This is not organism food uncontrolled but organisms for the tree to control. By applying mollasses directly to the soil which is in effect no different to sugar water excepting that it is a conjunction of sugars...feeds microbes wantonly and not at the trees discretion and not only aerobic beneficial microbes.
