    We recently resodded a green with very thatchy sod. We've been aerating and virdicuting very frequently. The thatch still seems to be a big problem. Has anyone ever used molasses to help with thatch problems? If so, what was it like, and how much did you need to use?

    If not, what do you recommend?

    Thanks so much!

    A great product I have found is a homebrew of equal part of molasses and terra-ganix Em-1. I wait till the mixture lowers to ph of 4.0 or less than sprayed at 4 gallons/acre every 30 days for fantastic thatch control. If you have any questions email me at jpschmidt720@yahoo.com
