    Hi, I've been using a home made feed for years mixing molasses and sea weed extract .
    Does anyone use a similar combination for feeding flowers and vegetable plants .
    My seaweed has been foraged from holidays on the coast and dryed untill I can get around to making my extract.
    The molasses comes from the farm we use it as feed for Sheep/cattle.

    I use a weak solution of molasses through out . It builds the sugars up in the plants giving you bigger fruit, veg - eg (broccoli) and flowers annuals, perennials or whatever.
    I've tried using aspirin and numerous other things in the past even milk.
