i read the link and i like the recipe for spraying cabbage moths.

i don't see where it tells you how to use this as a foliar spray for plants or as a drench. i don't want to buy alfalfa meal nor aerate a mix. if i wanted to use as a foliar spray how much black strap molasses would i use for 1 gallon of water? same question for a drench for plants? can i mix black strap molasses and water without anything else and get good results? is it safe to use on new plants?

thanks,

tom
