How to feed an apple tree with ash
Ash or ash solution (two glasses of fertilizer per bucket of water) should be added to the soil to a depth of 8-10 centimeters.
Simply scattering fertilizer under the tree is not an option. This will accelerate the formation of a soil crust that is harmful to plants and microflora.
Ash cannot be used simultaneously with nitrogen fertilizers, they will not be absorbed.
Nitrogen fertilizers are applied at least one month after ash.
Also, you cannot mix ash with phosphate rock, superphosphate and lime.
