Ash and eggshells are standard gardening remedies.

Any experienced gardener has long known about the properties and features of these fertilizers.

However, few people have tried to mix these components.

And in vain, because the result is a special combination.

A mixture of unburned wood residues with crushed shells is a real super-remedy.

The effectiveness of such powder will pleasantly surprise any summer resident.

How to mix ash with shells

First, you need to grind the hard shell of the eggs.

“Process” the dried eggshells using a coffee grinder or blender.

If you don’t have such devices, you can use a mortar and pestle.

Mix the resulting powder with ash. There should be two parts of ash for every one part of ground shell.

How to use the mixture

As a result of the above actions, you will get a super product that you need to sprinkle on the soil before spring digging.

Thanks to the mixture, the condition of the soil will significantly improve.

The point is that potassium, phosphorus and zinc will get into the soil cover (and will remain there for a long time). This result will be achieved due to the ash component.

And thanks to the crushed eggshells, calcium will appear in the soil.

The appearance of important components in the soil will lead to a positive result: plant roots will develop quickly and will be strong.

And the flora representatives themselves will be protected from dangerous diseases.
