Benefits of Using Wood Ash
Ash contains many useful minerals, such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and others. These elements are necessary for the growth and development of plants.
Wood ash will help:
- improve the soil, increase crop yields, protect plants from diseases.
Mistakes in using ash in the garden
To properly use ash as a fertilizer, you need to avoid certain mistakes.
Do not mix ash with ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate or phosphate fertilizers as this may cause mineral imbalances and create toxic chemical compounds.
It is important to remember the correct combination of components if you use ash as a natural fertilizer.
Only wood ash obtained from burning pure wood without impurities is suitable for fertilizing the soil.
However, some people use ash from burning garbage or processed wood as fertilizer, which is unacceptable.
Proper use of ash is the key to a healthy garden and, accordingly, a healthy harvest.
