I have used molasses each year on top of my fall patch amendments and again in the early spring. I certainly see an increase in worm activity but some my grower friends caution I will raise my boron level to a toxic level. Anyone have information about boron content of molasses.

Dr. Bob, I found this chart showing the nutrients in black strap molasses, but it does not show boron. Link is at;

Doc, I have low boron and have a hard time raising it here. That said I also use more molasses than most every season. I don't think it can be a problem if your level is going up I would look elsewhere.

I agree with Glen and Dan I can not find anywhere were it lists Boron being in Molasses. Maybe if you are using the Deer Supplement which has added Mineral and supplements.
