How to feed cherries with ash in spring
The easiest and fastest option is to scatter ash around the tree, after moistening the soil and loosening it.
You need 100-200 grams of ash per square meter of soil. To prevent fungal diseases, you can powder the trunk and crown.
Watering with ash infusion is also very effective. Fill a liter jar of fertilizer with ten liters of hot water, mix thoroughly, leave for three to four days in a warm place (in a container with a lid).
It is advisable to stir the infusion daily. Strain before use. For a fruit-bearing tree, 8-10 liters of infusion are needed.
It is important to remember that ash is not compatible with mineral nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers.
