Many gardeners put wood ash in the holes when planting tomato seedlings in the ground.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer, told us whether this can be done.
Is it possible to feed tomatoes with ash when planting?
Yes, tomatoes love ash. However, you need to follow certain rules.
Firstly, you don’t need to pour a lot of ash, a small handful is enough.
Secondly, when fertilizing any crops with ash, you need to take into account the acidity of the soil.
Ash reduces it. If the soil on the site is alkaline, it is better not to use ash.
