Molasses has potassium and trace minerals it's benefit is from feeding the micro organisms in your soil which in turn feed the plants. many of these microbes can fix nitrogen from the air without being attached to the roots of a target plant. it will also liberate nutrients that are 'locked up' in the soil and otherwise unusable to the plants. a side benefit to molasses is that ants hate it and move. a light solution of molasses can keep your plants insect free. though may be not deer free. so as with many 'organic' soil amendments more may not necessarily be better it may be harmful. a little bit more often is better than all of it all at once. scour the web there is a lot of good information available. there are also some companies that sell microbial soil amendments that will work in conjunction with molasses to strengthen your soil and stronger soil means stronger more fruitful plants.
