Wood ash can be awarded the palm it deserves if you count how many times it is mentioned in the composition of fertilizers prepared according to folk recipes.
Let's figure out what this nationwide love is connected with.
The first factor that comes to mind is availability – you can “get” the required amount of ash by simply heating up the stove or starting a fire in the backyard.
If this is not possible, welcome to the store with goods for the garden and vegetable garden.
However, it would be rash to assume that only this quality (we are talking about availability) made ash famous.
It seems to us that the reason why wood burning residues are used everywhere is because the ash contains more than three dozen minerals – each of which is needed by plants to grow and develop properly.
At the same time, among the components you will not find chlorine, which is contraindicated for many cultivated crops.
Finally, we cannot ignore the ease of use of ash: you can add it to the holes, sprinkle it on the soil before subsequent digging, or prepare infusions and decoctions from it.
