Question

Answer
Tell me, my friend, do you have Soil testers conveniently located in your part of the country?

It's a critical part of the prescription for improving your Lawn, see.  If you know what's in your Soil, you know what you need to add, and what you don't need to add.  Which saves time, money and aggravation.

It also helps you to resist the strong messages that beckon you to buy this that and the other thing that you don't need for your Grass and Garden.

Dirt Doctor Howard Garrett posts a whole essay on Dry Molasses:

'Dry Molasses isn抰 really straight Dried Molasses. It抯 molasses sprayed on a grain residue carrier. It抯 an excellent Carbon source that stimulates beneficial microorganisms...'

Dry Molasses is not a cure for uncooperative or poor quality Soil.  If you have a high Clay Soil, there are other solutions.  The main one being heavy amendments of Organic Matter in Compost and Manure, plus whatever else you feel like adding.  Tell me more about your Lawn, your climate and your Soil -- I would especially like to know the kind of Grass you are growing, perhaps we should switch to something less maintenance-intense.  rsvp
