    trev it was in growing giant pumpkins post. anyways this is what i found,

    2 oz's fish emulsion
    2 oz's molasses
    1 oz calcium nitrate
    per gal of water

    maybe they use the molasses for the micro nutrients?

    The molasses is an old remedy, and you can substitute clear corn syrup instead if you want. People even spread it on their lawn, but it works fine in gardens too.

    IIRC the high sugar content gets broken up by the bacteria in the soil, which is then taken up by the grass/plants.
