Is this Non Sulfur Molasses ? Can I use it for making compost tea ?

I used it with orange oil to make a solution to treat fire ants, and to provide food for beneficial nematodes. I am assuming that it is no sulfur molasses because it is not listed on the label as to content.

Package does not contain information on sulfur content. I include this statement read in an article about dry molasses: "Liquid molasses is sweet syrup that is used as a food, but also as a soil amendment to feed and stimulate microorganisms. It is normally sprayed at 1 - 2 oz. per gallon of water. Like the dry molasses, it provides food for microorganisms and is a source of carbon, sulfur and potash. It is a quick source of energy for the soil life and microbes living the soil"

Hi there. The collection base is a great feature. As you are composting you need to keep your material damp, so when your apply water it passes through the decomposing material and collects in the base. This becomes compost tea which is high in nutrients and should be used occasionally when watering your plants. Great stuff compost tea. However from our experience you need to elevate the whole unit to get at the spout, so we have our unit on an out door table. So if the unit is not elevated you need to remove the barrel and have a second pair of hands to help you drain the base. In closing we are happy with the product.

It is not tea... I have only used it for smoothies and milkshakes, in which it works great for both. I suppose you could brew some black tea and mix some of this in it. The ingredients list on the back of my package: Taro Flavor Powder, Granulated sugar, Glucose, Non-dairy creamer. It is pretty sweet, I didn't need to add any sugar (wish I could take some out ;p).

It is interesting you ask that the sulfer is 100% sorced from DMSO. I looked up DMSO and its description says that is is a by product of the wood industry. I found another site that said pine trees work really well for DMSO extraction. I know that it is the sulfer that gives it the very bitter taste. I can't say for certain that 7 lights gets theirs from pine but I would say its a fairly good chance.

EACH SPRING before planting, evenly broadcast and mix into soil l lb SEA-90 per 100 sq ft. To make a COMPOST TEA, Mix 1 lb SEA-90 per 100 gallons or 1 tsp per gallon during the brewing process to improve microbial populations. For POTTING SOIL, Use 1 tbsp SEA-90 mixed into 24 lbs soil mix. For GROWING PLANTS, make a Nutrient-Rich Foliar Spray by mixing 1 tsp SEA-90 per gallon clean water (large scale applications mix 1 lb SEA-90 per 100 gallons). This solution can be misted or sprayed on plant leaves once each day.

The Amazon description for this product does not say if it is unsulfured or not; therefore, I would believe that it is unsulfured, as that would be the default. Sulfur is added to molasses to fortify it with iron, calcium, and magnesium. As I was using it to try and kill nutgrass in my yard, the molasses did not need to be fortified. Gardners disagree as to whether or not the added sulfur helps microbes to grow.

It is the original paradise tea, but it's in restaurant sized bags. We like to use one bag to brew almost a gallon, but I've heard of people using more or less water depending on your strength preference. It's not loose tea, although I'm sure you can just cut the bags open if you'd like

the packaging lists 100% Macha so Im pretty sure that all thats in there. I don't uses it for tea, I make smoothies with it, it has a great flavor and even my kids love it. As with anything on amazon its worth a try, if you don't like it you can send it back.

No, you need to look up Sub Cools recipe, this is just considered the base medium to your super soil mix. In all reality, if you are going super soil, make sure you get nematodes for the cooking session, you can also add your own mix of beneficial bacteria and fungus. Its awesome, but most importantly if you are going this route, get a worm farm and make worm tea. You will love me later on.

According to the label, it is derived from kelp. No where does it say if it's 100% or not - as it contains some metals my guess is not organic. I would recommend going out to Lilly Miller's website, www.lillymiller.com, for a more detailed list of ingredients. I do know that our soil here in Montana is dreadful, and my plants are flourishing with this additive.

Hey there Holly,This is pure kelp meal with no other additives and works great to side-dress or even mixed in with the soil for an organic nitrogen supplement ;) Thanks for your questionAndrewearthworkshealth.comSales Manager/Customer Relations8002285836

Does not contain sulfur as others answered already. Thought I'd add that the back label warns against using sulfur in combination with this product as it will cause damage to foliage. Just in case you were thinking of getting another product in addition to this one to help with your peach trees. http://www.bonide.com/lbonide/backlabels/l214.pdf

No you shouldn't use half a tea bag. This bag shoul come with 4 tea bags, making five gallons each bag for a total of 20 gallons of compost tea. If you decide to use each bag more than once it's your call, but it could be less potent. This will also increase the total gallons.

I just read the reviews on this product and noticed two things that might answer your question. 1) Someone posted they burned the bag to test if it was 100% cotton and determined there were synthetic fibers. If brewing tea in a bag that may have synthetic fibers bothers you, then I wouldn't suggest using this to brew tea. 2) Another reviewer noted they use these bags to brew tea and were very happy with the results. Hope this helps!
