Usually, gardeners use wood ash without any processing. It is immediately added to the soil in dry form or nutritious infusions are prepared.
However, experienced gardeners use it together with vinegar. Let's try to figure out why this is necessary and what's the matter.
Using ash together with vinegar makes the beneficial substances contained in the ash more accessible.
As is known, the organic additive contains about 30 substances useful for soil and plants.
But this does not mean that ash can be used everywhere.
On average, it is recommended to add about 1-2 tablespoons of the additive per square meter of sowing area. And this is calculated for one year.
Ash becomes much more accessible in the form of a solution or infusion.
To do this, add 1 glass of dry ash to 10 liters of clean, settled water.
Add 3/4 cup of 3% vinegar here.
Thanks to vinegar, useful substances are released, and the solution itself has a beneficial effect on the condition of the soil.
The resulting concentrate should be divided into three buckets of water and used for irrigation.
