Beginning gardeners consider organic fertilizers to be harmless, but they know little about the consequences of their illiterate use.
Even wood ash, which is actively used in the fall, can cause harm.
Let's find out how to properly use ash in the fall, and in what cases it should be abandoned.
Will not cause harm
1. It is recommended to feed strawberries at the rate of ½ cup of ash per bush.
2. Stone fruit crops also need ash fertilizing, but not more than once every 3 years. Approximately 100 grams of fertilizer is applied under cherries and plums.
3. From berry bushes, you need to feed currants and gooseberries, but only once every 3-4 years. Consumption - up to one liter of ash per bush.
4. With the same success, you can add organic matter to the beds where cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes, pumpkins, beds for winter garlic and onions will grow.
5. Of the decorative ones, peonies and clematis, roses and lilies, hyacinths, asters and chrysanthemums are fed.
Ash cannot be added
It is not recommended to fertilize plants that grow in acidic soil.
The additive is not used on soils with an alkaline reaction. Otherwise, problems with seed germination and seedling growth may arise.
It is also important to remember that ash cannot be added together with manure, bird droppings and urea.
