Mollasses promotes beneficial microbes in the soil if you use chems you are defeating the purpose
Are you saying if you use organic fertilizers then you shouldn't use molasses? Or if you have soil or water or air 'cause those are full of chemicals too. And the molasses, that's made of chemicals too.
Pretty much EVERYTHING is a chemical. If something is matter it's a chemical.
This whole confusion about chemicals being bad things comes from some marketing types who got together and said, "Let's say our competitors product is full of chemicals, that will sound nasty and people will buy our product instead."
chemical element
One of the more than 110 presently known kinds of substances that constitute all
matter at and above the level of
atoms (the smallest units of any element). All atoms of an element are identical in nuclear charge (number of
protons) and number of
electrons (
see atomic number), but their
mass (
atomic weight) may differ if they have different numbers of
neutrons (
see isotope). Each permanently named element has a one- or two-letter
chemical symbol. Elements combine to form a wide variety of
compounds. All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 (bismuth), and some isotopes of lighter elements, are unstable and radioactive (
see radioactivity). The
transuranium elements, with atomic numbers greater than 92 (
see uranium), artificially created by bombardment of other elements with neutrons or other particles, were discovered beginning in 1940. The most common elements (by weight) in Earth's crust are oxygen, 49%; silicon, 26%; aluminum, 8%; and iron, 5%. Of the known elements, 11 (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, and the six noble gases) are
gases under ordinary conditions, two (bromine and mercury) are
liquids (two more, cesium and gallium, melt at about or just above room temperature), and the rest are
solids.
