I found the one thread that mentions Karo, and it said "foam in the resevoir" with anaerobic bacteria. Since I grow in dirt, I don't have a resevoir. Does the same thing apply to dirt? I should mention I have earthworms in the soil, and that my water regularly contains drippings from my "worm farm".

Search engine results seem to indicate that corn syrup (and maple syrup) is a viable alternative to molasses. Since I'm a cheap bastard, and don't wanna pay for anything I don't have to...

...any more input on the subject? Please?
