FW: [compost_tea] Mollasses?



If I want to control apple scab using a foliar spray,

wouldn’t I be after a high fungal tea?  If the bacteria

consume the fungi, then wouldn’t high molasses be

the way to go?

Actually, I have to amend my statement about the use of Molasses if you already have good fungal. 

 

In my instance, no matter what the fungal numbers I develop, because I am using AH, there is always a high number of bacteria so the proportion is thrown off. Molasses at 5% will "reduce" the number of bacteria, thus enabling a true Fungal tea instead of one high in both numbers. This can be a wonderful "problem" when using Alaska Humus.

 

Cheers,

 

Jeff
