Ironwood makes a good point about the dab of fish to speed up the breakdown/access to kelpy goodness. I use as much kelp as I can get to amend my tomato soil in the containers before planting. I also use a kelp drink for the plants when they're about to be (or have been!) exposed to a cold stress.


The great thing about a drop of molasses in your liquid fish stuff is that it neutralizes the foul smell of the stuff. I mostly use the fish liquid indoors so molasses is ... heavenly!
Hey I read somewhere that pouring molasses-water on an anthill would get rid of them.. I never dreamed it would kill plants! Now I'm thinking it may be worth trying on the ants after all.
