Please tell me how the ash is useful. What kind of cultures are best to contribute to it?
Garden fertilizer is an important element in gardening. As fertilizer for soil use ash plant origin, usually woody. It is rich in macro and microelements, the content of which is strongly fluctuating depending on the breed and age of burned wood, storage conditions and other factors. High quality is considered ash, obtained from hardwood trees, which was kept in a dry place. It contains 2-7.3% phosphorus, 6.9-13.3% of potassium. The ash of straw is also valuable: phosphorus in it - 3,4-8.6%, potassium - 9.4-22.6%. Moreover, these elements are in the formas well available for plants, that is, they are absorbed by them better than when using many common forms of mineral fertilizers.
Due to the high content in calcium ash (about 40%), it can be used as a good lime material for neutralizing soil acidity. The special value of ash lies in the fact that there is no chlorine in it. Therefore, it is rational to be made under the cultures, negatively reacting to chlorine: first of all, it is potatoes, as well as onions, zucchini, pumpkin, and especially closed soil vegetables (tomato, cucumber, pepper, eggplant).
The ash on light sandy soils to avoid potassium loss is better to bring in spring, and on heavy drum and clay - it is possible and in the fall of the main processing of the soil (plowing, people).
