Wood ash is a very simple and free fertilizer that perfectly saturates the soil with useful elements and helps to get an excellent vegetable harvest.

But don't think that such a remedy is universal. After all, it is far from always possible to use ash in the garden.

It is necessary to take into account that such a product deacidifies the soil, making it more alkaline.

Plants that prefer acidic soil are unlikely to appreciate this type of feeding.

For example, if you add ash to blueberries, hydrangeas, radishes or sorrel, you can slow down their growth and development.

There are some more rules for using this product at the dacha.

First of all, it is important to remember that during storage, the ash must not come into contact with soil or water.

It also cannot be mixed with other fertilizers, such as manure or compost.

In addition, it is important to remember that ash is incompatible with dolomite flour.
