Of course, ash is needed by plants in the garden and vegetable garden, and, what is important, it is available to everyone.

However, there is a nuance. Not all ash will be useful, if only because it is used incorrectly. Especially by beginners.

In order for it to truly become an elixir of joy for your plants, you should follow simple rules.

These recommendations are based on many years of experience of gardening and vegetable gardening professionals.

Their advice and rules state that the ash should be stored in a closed container and not allowed to get wet.

Also, you can’t mix ash with manure (first fertilize with manure, dig it up, and only then add ash).

When we add ash to the soil, we always sprinkle it with earth. Otherwise, it will lose its microelements.
