The heating season has begun. If you have fireplaces, you can use wood ash. It is important that the wood does not contain any additives, is not impregnated, stained or painted. We burn hardwood in fireplaces, and it is best for use in the garden. Ash contains an average of 35% calcium, 10% potassium, 4% phosphorus, 3% magnesium and many microelements. It does not contain nitrogen, which has evaporated during the combustion process. Therefore, it is not a nitrogen fertilizer and this must be remembered when using it in cultivation. It is also alkaline, deacidifies the soil, so it is not suitable for acid-loving plants. You often write about dry rot in tomatoes. This is a reaction to a lack of calcium. Ash contains a lot of it. Or maybe the flowers are blooming poorly or the tomatoes are reluctant to set and color the fruit? Adding potassium will help. The grass is taking root poorly, or maybe the carrots are giving small roots? Phosphorus will come to the rescue. Do your plant leaves have strange discolorations, are the green pigment – chlorophyll – disappearing, are they suffering from chlorosis? They lack magnesium. Wood ash is therefore a very valuable fertilizer, which should not be thrown away but collected and used in plant cultivation.
