Only the lazy have not heard about the benefits of ash in the garden.

However, not all summer residents know that not just any ash is suitable for fertilizing plants growing in their garden plots.

For example, you shouldn’t use the ashes left in the grill after cooking shashlik for feeding, and here’s why.

When preparing a juicy and flavorful dish, many cooks use lighter fluid.

Is it worth reminding that this product is a chemical preparation?

It is for this reason that the wood burning residue that you get after the shashlik is ready is not suitable for adding to the garden beds - it will only add harmful chemicals to the soil.

The same should be said about the ash that remains after burning the fence, since most often painted sticks and beams are sent to the fire.

And the ash from burned garbage – plastic bottles, cellophane bags, etc. – is difficult to classify as fertilizer.
