What is the best way to use Ash in the garden? Preparing the correct ash solution

For the cultivation of garden crops, ash is used with the time of the Early Middle Ages and I am on personal experience made sure that it is in no way inferior to store-bought chemicals, and in many ways surpasses them!

Its unconditional merits include:

· Environmental safety - for humans and nature;

· Variety - you can prepare all kinds of means from it or use it in its pure form;

· Versatility - suitable for almost all plants.

Exceptions for which ash is contraindicated are radishes, watermelons and sorrel.

It has been scientifically proven that when ash is introduced in the form of a solution, plants absorb it slightly better than in cases when it is introduced when loosening or digging.

The choice of raw materials for ash is varied. Personally, I turn into it the branches left over from trimming ornamental, fruit and berry trees and shrubs, as well as foliage and stems after pinching plants, cut grass and straw.

You can not be afraid to burn even the tops of bell peppers, potatoes, eggplants and tomatoes - it is not recommended to put it in compost because of the risks the presence of late blight pathogens in the green mass, but fire destroys any microorganisms, leaving only useful components from raw materials.

I also want to clarify that in order to obtain ash, it is absolutely impossible to take all kinds of construction waste, like painted boards - this will only harm the plants, plus, when burning, such objects are ways to release toxins.

It is interesting that one exact chemical composition of ash does not exist - after all, much is determined by the characteristics of its raw materials. For example, in the ash from old trees, the level of calcium is increased, and branches from hard tree species saturate the ash with potassium.

But in principle, the effectiveness of the tool is based on the fact that, in addition to the named elements, ash contains phosphorus, sulfur, manganese, magnesium, boron and many other substances.

To prepare a good, one hundred percent effective ash solution, I do the following:

1. I measure out 1 glass of ash, that is, about 100 g.

2. I add it to 10 liters of water.

3. I water the plants at the root, as usual, that is, instead of watering with clean water.

The ash solution should not be cold - so that the root system does not experience "shock".

Theoretically, it is possible to prepare more infusions and decoctions from ash, but personally I limit myself to a simple solution and in the garden everything grows remarkably and bears fruit.
