Unburned wood waste is a universal garden remedy.
It can be used as a fertilizer, a soil improver, and a pest control powder.
But ash has a serious drawback. It turns out that it cannot be mixed with certain components.
When combined with a number of agents, ash becomes an “enemy” for plants and soil.
Unfortunately, this point is not taken into account even by many experienced gardeners. The result is often a loss of harvest.
So, what should you not combine ash with?
Manure and humus
Unburned wood residues do not get along well with manure and humus.
Do not mix ash with these components under any circumstances!
Ignoring the recommendation will lead to the following: a chemical reaction will begin, the results of which will have an extremely negative impact on the condition of garden and vegetable crops.
Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers
Ash does not mix well with some mineral fertilizers. First of all, we are talking about superphosphate, as well as nitrogen sources.
Plants that encounter such a “cocktail” may not be able to absorb most of the components that are important to them.
To avoid problems, allow at least a 30-day break between applying ash and applying nitrogen/phosphorus fertilizers.
Some biopreparations
Unburned wood residues cannot be used simultaneously with such products as Sporobacterin and Fitosporin-M.
It is necessary, again, to remember the importance of a month's break between procedures.
