When to "extinguish" ash with vinegar: important information for summer residents
Ash is often used by summer residents as a fertilizer.
And this is correct, because unburned wood residues are a source of potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, boron, manganese and many other elements important for plants.
Ash also contains calcium.
However, in ash this component is presented in a form that is difficult to access for garden and vegetable crops.
However, experienced summer residents have found a way to solve this problem.
How to "extinguish" ash
If you want to feed a plant that urgently needs calcium, then before adding unburned wood waste, pour water over it and add a little vinegar.
You need to do the following: first, you need to take a bucket, pour 200 grams of ash into it and fill this fertilizer with plain water until the container is almost completely filled.
The next step is to add half a glass of vinegar and thoroughly mix the contents of the bucket.
Next you need to wait at least 120 minutes.
After this, the gardener can safely use the prepared infusion: each plant should receive a maximum of 1 liter of liquid. Watering should be done at the root.
The gardener can be sure that thanks to vinegar, “fast” calcium will appear in the ash.
