Mistakes when using ash in the garden that ruin all your efforts
Wood ash is a valuable fertilizer that saturates with phosphorus and potassium.
This product can also reduce soil acidity.
But it is important to remember that if the product is used incorrectly, it may be useless and, in some cases, may even cause harm.
As experts note, it is necessary to use the ash that remains after burning wood. If the material was covered with paints and varnishes, then such ash cannot be used. In addition, the remains of polymer and composite materials are also not suitable.
It is important to store ash properly. It is best to do this in sealed containers.
When applying fertilizer, it is important to remember that you should not overdo it, as this can lead to alkalization of the soil, which can reduce fertility.
It is highly undesirable to mix ash with organic and ammonia fertilizers.
The last rule is that you cannot confuse wood and coal ash - they have different properties. The latter fertilizer, for example, has less nutrition, it acidifies the soil.
