I have an ICB container that was full of molasses (used to sweeten hay etc for my son's cattle and sheep). It is now full of water and the diluted brown residue smells divine! I was wondering what would be the best use of it as a fertilizer for my vegetables or are there any complications in watering with it?

Might ferment into something interesting.

Hi Geoff,
My first thought is if it smells that wonderful just beware of what else it may attract. Remember leaving a bucket of molasses in the garage once and was horrified to find about five mice drowned in it. Guess they had a happy last feed ......
