What plants don't like ash: never fertilize them like this
30.05.2023 14:28
One of the most accessible natural fertilizers is ash, which remains from burning plant residues. They say that it contains everything necessary for normal fruiting of cultivated plants.
But there are some crops that will not be very happy with ash fertilizers. Let's talk about them.
What are the benefits of ash?
Ash contains potassium and calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Without these elements, normal fruiting is impossible.
But another feature of ash is that it deoxidizes the soil.
What can not be fertilized with ash
Mainly everything that grows in an acidic environment.
1. You shouldn’t feed radishes, because the ash will cause the crop to bolt and there will be no harvest.
2. Sorrel grows well in slightly acidic soil, and ash can simply stop the growth of this crop.
3. Watermelon will also not yield a normal harvest. If you add ash, the water exchange will be disrupted and the fruits will stop growing and then rot.
4. In a flowerbed, do not feed azalea and hydrangea, camellia, as well as lavender and calendula with ash additives.
5. In the garden, such an additive will harm all coniferous trees and junipers.
