To ensure that roses grow quickly and bloom profusely, wood ash is added to the hole when planting.
But this does not always need to be done. Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, talks about the nuances of fertilizing roses with ash.
Is it possible to add ash to the hole when planting roses?
It depends on the acidity of the soil. Roses grow well on neutral and slightly acidic soils, and ash alkalizes the soil.
Litmus paper will help determine the acidity of the soil. If the soil on the site is acidic, even a large amount of ash will not harm.
You can feed roses with ash not only when planting, but also during the period when buds appear.
Fertilizer is applied every two weeks. A small bush needs 50 grams of ash, a large one – 100 grams.
Earlier, the expert told what the first feeding of carrots should be.
