Compost tea and molasses is not the final answer for good organic soil building maintenance. Nothing totally replaces good ole homemade composting, mulching, cover cropping, and using rich protein fertilizers of any economical form.
I use aerated compost tea recipes with dry molasses as a regular foliar and soil drench, only as a complement, and as an "insurance policy", that my plants get everything they need as nutrients, microbes, and moisture, as I constantly enrich the ground with more composting in my no-till garden beds. Teas were not designed to replace composting.
For the lawn, I use homemade compost, lime, corn/soybean fertilzers and sometimes aerated compost tea and more dry molasses.
