How to Make Liquid Fertilizer with Ash

🌱 Why Ash Works as a Fertilizer

  • Rich in potassium – Supports flowering and fruiting

  • Contains calcium – Strengthens plant cell walls

  • Naturally alkaline – Helps balance overly acidic soils

⚠️ Tips & Warnings:

  • ✅ Use only clean wood ash — avoid ashes from charcoal, painted, or treated wood.

  • ✅ Use this fertilizer once every 2–4 weeks to avoid over-fertilizing.

  • ❌ Don’t use on acid-loving plants (like azaleas, blueberries, or hydrangeas), as ash can raise soil pH.

  • ❌ Avoid overuse — too much ash can make the soil too alkaline.

Final Thoughts

This easy, one-ingredient fertilizer is a great way to recycle wood ash and give your plants a natural nutrient boost — no chemicals required.

Simple, sustainable, and effective — just the way nature intended. 🌿
