V, molasses is the sugar that feeds the Tea...you Can Not make compost tea without some type of compost!!! Molasses alone will not brew "compost tea"? What else are you going to use? Peace, Wayne

You don't need fish or seaweed, molasses would work fine for a basic compost tea (though you do need the compost as Wayne pointed out).

The trick with molasses is that it needs to be unsulfured (sulfur kills biology). If you don't already have some, you can pick it up from the local grocery store most likely. Best type is unsulfured blackstrap molasses.
