बहुत ही कमाल का फर्टीलाइजर | Using Wood Ash In Your Garden

#WoodAshFertilizer #IndiaGardening #OrganicWoodAsh #woodAsh


A common question about composting is, “Should I put ashes in my garden?” You may wonder if ashes in the garden will help or hurt, and if you use wood or charcoal ashes in the garden, how it will affect your garden. Keep reading to understand more about wood ash uses in the garden.

Adding Ash Direct to the Soil
All this sounds rather alarming, but I don’t mean it to. Those of us who have the occasional bonfire won’t be damaging the soil with the small amount of resulting ash but rather adding a little of one of the nutrients that plants use most.

Sprinkling ash straight onto the soil also deters slugs and snails (the moment it gets wet, this effect unfortunately vanishes). I haven’t tried it myself, but some recommend sprinkling ash in the drills when you sow carrots, and dusting it on turnips to keep carrot and turnip fly away.

I generally add ash to the soil in spring and autumn, but it can be spread it around at other times whenever it’s available and you might as well if you know you can’t keep it bone-dry. Root vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, peas and beans (pods are a better weight and colour) and fruit all appreciate potash.

Regarding fruit, if you have only a little potash, it should go to dessert apples, redcurrants and gooseberries first, then to cooking apples, pears, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries. Plums, apricots, cherries and blackcurrants appreciate a regular sprinkle, but don’t need it so much.

In summary:

Keep ash dry before use.
Test your soil before spreading large amounts around.
Use it in particular around root vegetables, peas and beans, apple trees and soft fruit bushes.
