I buy a fifty pound bag of dried molasses, on some type of grain product at a feed supply store. I believe it is used as a supplement for horse feeding. I just broadcast some on top of my beds after fall clean up, along with a bit of alfalfa meal and rock dust and rake it in before covering with shredded leaves. Will also add some to my hole planting mix in spring.
