How to Make Liquid Fertilizer with Ash

A Natural, One-Ingredient DIY Solution for Thriving Plants

Taking care of plants means more than just watering — they also need nutrients to grow strong and healthy.

While store-bought fertilizers are common, there’s a simple, natural, and eco-friendly alternative you can make at home using wood ash — a great source of potassium, calcium, and trace minerals.

Here’s how to make a liquid fertilizer with ash in just a few easy steps.

🧪 What You’ll Need:

• 1 teaspoon of wood ash (make sure it’s from untreated, chemical-free wood)

• 1 liter of water

• Funnel

• Spray bottle or watering can

🛠️ Instructions:

1. Dissolve the ash
   Add 1 teaspoon of wood ash to 1 liter of water.

2. Stir well
   Mix thoroughly to ensure the ash is evenly distributed.

3. Transfer to container
   Use a funnel to pour the solution into a spray bottle or watering can.

4. Apply to your plants
   Use the liquid to water the soil around your plants. Avoid spraying directly on leaves, especially in direct sunlight.
