🌱 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.
