Care of decorative and fruit-berry cultures includes the mandatory use of fertilizers represented by organic and inorganic compositions. The most experienced funds include wood ash. When burning branches and leaves, you can not only clean the plot in the fall, but also stock fertilizer.

Raw materials and methods for obtaining ash

IN chemical composition The ash residue includes products combustion products of trees, bark, deciduous and stem parts of plants. As raw materials, not only wood is used to obtain ash, but charcoal.

Composition of mineral part

Application wood ash Promotes the active assimilation of plants of minerals immediately after making. Organic fertilizers first need to be overwhelmed.

The chemical composition includes mixtures of alkaline, alkaline earth metals and iron salts belonging to wide groups of carbonates, sulfates, phosphates and silicates. Externally, there is a color from white to gray, sometimes containing "rusty" inclusions due to the presence of ferrous compounds.

Properties of mineral components

Wood ash in the form of fertilizer is relevant for most garden and indoor plants. Its components in the form of a solution have comprehensive action on development fruit-berry trees, shrubs and indoor plants.

Chemical composition:

1. Calcium is the main growth stimulator, especially necessary when set by green mass plants.
2. Sodium is an element that activates a number of enzymes, indifferent to the presence of other elements of the ash residue. It normalizes the water balance of cells and provides soil alkalin.
3. Potassium supports alkalinity of ash solutions and favors the growth of garden crops and indoor plants.
4. Phosphorus is necessary for the normal functioning of thermal-loving plants, such as grapes. In order for this element actively transfered into the soil from the solution, the latter must be intermitted periodically, as orthophosphates quickly fall into the bottom of the container.
5. Magnesium is included in the chemical composition of chlorophyll, which participates in the production of oxygen.
6. Silicon is represented as silicates and helps cells to hold among themselves. His beneficial properties are to increase the digestible share of trace elements contained in the soil.

Table 1: Content of the main elements

In addition to the main components, more than 30 elements involved in the process of fruit and decorative cultures . Their properties are manifested at various stages of development. They contribute to maintaining healthy external view, prevent the foliage, fruit and root system.

Ways to use ash

There are many approaches to the fertilizer of the soil garden plot and the garden, characterized by the complexity, consumption of materials and fertilizer composition. The most common 3 ways to make ash in the soil:

1. Uniform scattering on the site, followed by pipping, is carried out in the fall and effectively for the fertilizer of the Earth throughout the area of \u200b\u200bthe site and the garden prepared under the spring landing.
2. Floating in a well intended for seeds or seedlings. The presence of ash along with seeds and tubers does not only increase the nutritional properties of the soil, but also protects the seed material from pests. When processing trees, 10-20 cm grooves are digging, designed to hold the nutrient medium near the roots. Stirring with a soil increases its fertility for indoor plants.
3. Watering with an aqueous solution of ash provides the most rapid and deep penetration of mineral substances into the soil. If the solution is poured on top of the foliage, not under root, then the likelihood of the development of diseases and the appearance of pests is reduced. The composition of the suspension for irrigation includes 2 glasses (200 g) of the ash mix on the water bucket (10 l).

The composition and properties of dry ashes are such that it is practically not sinking in water, being lighter than it 2 times. In a teaspoon, about 2 g of ashes are placed, in the dining room - 6 g, and in the classic graved glass - 100 g.

Flow consumption

The amount of the mixture necessary to achieve the maximum effect of fertilizer depends on the type of soil, plant varieties and the method of use. To determine the required amount of ash, use exemplary costs of consumption:

• potatoes - 10-12 g of ash under the tuber, pre-mixed with the ground. In the fall, the landing space can be sprinkled from above the dry ash mixture (1 cup on 1 m 2). During the vegetation and emphasis of potatoes, wood ash is brought under the bush in an amount of up to 50 g;
• zucchini, eggplants, cucumbers require the same autumn preparation Soil, like potatoes. Intermediate processing of the soil in the process of maturation is recommended to be carried out once - 1 cup of 1 m 2 followed by abundant irrigation;
• tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, cabbage - 3 glasses per 1 m 2 during the population of the plot in the fall and 1-2 tablespoons in the well with seeds. Cabbage in the period of growth should additionally sprinkle on top of the ash. It will protect the crop from pests and increase the fertility of the upper soil layer after watering;

• for small crops (beans, pea, radish), one glass of 1 m 2 is enough during dumping in autumn or spring to ensure uniform soil saturation;
• onions and garlic - 2 cups of wood ash in autumn, 1 cup in spring on 1m 2. Specific properties of rising onions and garlic require not so much nutrient composition, how much protection from rot. To increase the soil more stronger before planting, it is possible to pour it with an ash solution;
• fruit decorative trees And shrubs - 2-3 kg of ashes are introduced into the grooves dumped around the perimeter, which fall asleep the earth and are abundantly watering with water. Fertility recommended every 3-4 years. Ash protects wood from pests and pathogens, increase the supply of the root system with minerals;
• indoor flowers - when planting it is enough to mix with the ground 2 tbsp. l. ash on one pot. The resulting composition of the soil should be updated every 1-2 years to support the growth of the flower and prevent pests.

Acidophil plants requiring acidic soil (cranberry, blueberry, camellia), do not tolerate strong alkalin (pH increase), rendered ash. For such species, individual sections are needed that will have the appropriate composition of the soil.

Wood ash - affordable and effective fertilizerapplied by all gardeners, gardens and farmers. It successfully replaces artificial chemical feeding. Making ash into the soil on cottage plot In the spring and autumn, it allows not only to periodically "feed" trees and shrubs, but also solves the problem of recycling plant waste, in large numbers of the remaining furnaces and trimming of the garden. Indoor plants also need fertilizers, one of whose species is wood ash, made to the soil.

Many dacifics are known that woody ash is a very useful complex organic fertilizer to enrich the Earth with elements necessary for good growth and development of plants. It is capable of improving the composition and make the soil more nutritious, as well as protect our beds from various insects and harvest diseases. This is a means one of the most easily accessible and easy to use.

What is wood ash

Considering that wood ash consists of, it can be seen that in this form fertilizer contains almost all the most necessary elements for the full nutrition of vegetable plants:

Composition of wood ash
Micraylement	What influences
CALCIUM	The element is necessary for the healthy growth of young sprouts and the right assimilation nutrients Plants. Reduces soil acidity.
POTASSIUM	Prevents premature ripening of fruits. Takes part in photosynthesis. Gives plants resistance to various ailments.
PHOSPHORUS	It has an impact on the formation of the root system of young plants, to the early ripening of fruits.
MAGNESIUM	Participates in the development of carbon plants, in the development of a healthy root system.

There is no nitrogen in wood ash - it will disappear along with gray during burning. It is not recommended to mix ash with nitrogen fertilizers. Nitrogen will turn into ammonia and will not bring plants any benefit. But together with trace elements that offer benefits, there are substances that can help neutralize.

The chemical composition of ash wooded also includes sodium, zinc, copper and other useful substances. The ratio of these elements in ash depends on the type and age of the burned plants. For example, in the ash of deciduous trees, more potassium content than in coniferous rocks. But in coniferous rocks - more than fluorine. The feeder will be a fertilizer obtained from young trees or their branches.

What is the value of fertilizer from wood ash

The ash obtained from the burning of wood has a mass useful properties, she is:

• enriches the soil with useful trace elements;
• normalizes the acidity of the soil;
• strengthens the immunity of plants;
• improves their survival rate.

Due to the significant content of the elements necessary for the full development of garden crops, ash allows you to do without additional fertilizers by trace elements. Its use allows you to improve the yield and quality of vegetable plants.

It also has a sufficiently strong antiseptic and antibacterial effect, which allows it to be used as an insecticide or fungicide. Ashes useful and for processing damaged roots and rays of plants.

Substances that are part of wood ash are completely dissolved in water without forming hazardous compounds. This contributes to their rapid absorption with vegetable crops.

What fertilizers is compatible ash

Wood ash, as fertilizer can be used separately or together with some other nutrients.

Good feeding will be a mixture of wood ash with peat. It will include all the basic trace elements needed vegetables for the right development. To make it preparation, it will be necessary to connect the ash with peat in proportion 1: 3. The components are thoroughly mixed, and the mixture itself is evenly distributed over the ridges.

Wood chips can be added to compost. It helps to create excellent conditions for existence in humorous microorganisms involved in the processing of rotting plants. Due to alkaline properties, it reduces the acidity of the medium, which allows to decompose the material faster. It is not recommended to add ash to compost if they are equipped with neutral or alkaline soil.

Fighting with pests and various diseases, wood ash used together with herbal decoctions and influences. Such compositions will help get rid of:

• from muced dew;
• black legs;
• tli, flea and a wireboat;
• slugs;
• the larvae of the colorado beetle.

Cultures are treated with solutions in the morning and evening.

When the ash is used as a fertilizer

The most wood ash will bring benefits for the garden, when adding in the spring in the spring. So he will stay longer in the ground. You can make fertilizer both during Popile and in the prepared pits for landing. In the fall, it can be added during the people of the garden only in heavy soils. From the lung soil useful elements are quickly washed out.

The woody ash is used to fertilize the Earth during a shortage in potassium ground, calcium and magnesium. Signs of lack of these elements are as follows:

• turn yellow the edges of the leaf plates in plants, then they are covered with spots and deform;
• there is a focus of barriers on the grated cultures;
• tomato fruits are covered with spots.

To make a fertilizer from the burned wood, you should know what plants love wood ash most of all. These are cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cabbage, zucchini and potatoes. But it should be borne in mind that each of these plants needs a different amount of beneficial substances. So, the fertilizer of cucumbers is used less wood ash, than under tomatoes, peppers and eggplants.

When not to use ash

Do not mix the woody ashes or add it to the ground along with nitric fertilizers and superphosphate. It does not apply on the soils treated with lime. It makes no sense to apply it with manure, alien, chicken litter. Between feeding vegetable crops these nutritional minerals and organic substances And the ashes must be Muslim at least 1 month.

The ash is not suitable for fertilizer if it is derived from trees that grew around lively highways, enterprises with harmful production, in the radioactive zone. After all, there may be harmful substances that grow growing plants together with useful trace elements.

Charcoal as fertilizer for the garden is practically not used. After all, there are few available beneficial substances. It is capable only enrich the soil of calcium. It will be much more useful to burn it and use as a fertilizer formed ash. It is more often used for indoor plants, because it can help make the soil more loose and protect the roots of the plants from the posting, acting as an antiseptic.

Rings of ash

The use of wood ash on the garden is possible in several variations:

• in the crumbly form - immediately before watering; under the people; in the wells for planting;
• in the form of a solution - as a liquid fertilizer; For irrigation from harmful insects and other misfortunes.

IMPORTANT! It should be borne in mind that to sprinkle a garden with ashes needed in calm weather, in the absence of wind. Otherwise, the ash is blown away from the site.

Calculating the amount of wood ash to enrich the garden soil, it is necessary to take into account the acidity of the Earth. On average, one m² is added a hundred - one hundred fifty grams of ash. It must be piled by a layer of substrate at 8 cm high. The fertilizer will have a positive effect on plant development within three to four years. 1-2 trts are added to the landing wells. l. Substances. However, it should be known that seedlings of some cultures can not be placed directly in the ash.

So, planting the grained cultures, in the wells you can add a small amount of ash mixed with the ground. The mixture must be sprinkled on top of the soil and only then placing there seedlings. Roots should not have direct contact with ash. This is fraught with burns that negatively affect the further development of cultivated plants.

The solid of wood ash for fertilizer is consumed by half liters for each bustle. To cook it:

• 1 cup of wood ash;
• 10 liters of water;
• Suitable in volume capacity.

The ash of wood is thoroughly mixed with water. Fertilizer is insisted for 1 week. The mixture is periodically mixed. The resulting solution is used at all stages of development of cultures with a temporary interval of 2 weeks.

To make it easier to calculate the amount of ash, use the Table:

IMPORTANT! It is not acceptable to use wood ash for feeding potatoes. It is a favorable medium for the development of the brush.

Wood (chimney, vegetable) ash for many gardeners and gardeners is a natural organic fertilizer No. 1. This, which not only fertilizes, but also structures the soil. The source of potassium compounds changes the acidity of the soil, breaks down it and, which is very important, has a beneficial effect on the state of soil microorganisms. The ash is a record holder among natural fertilizers in the composition of the elements: phosphorus, lime, manganese, boron, etc. However, the ash of coal as fertilizer is practically not used.

Wood ash like fertilizer

Wood ash is traditionally considered a source of potassium, phosphorus and calcium. But nitrogen in it is almost no. In wood ashes there are trace elements: boron, iron, magnesium, manganese, copper, molybdenum, sulfur and zinc. All this (about 30 elements) is contained in an easy-to-reach plants. There is no chlorine in the ash. It is important, wood ash - "long-playing" fertilizer, the validity of which is sufficiently long enough. It stimulates the activity of nitrogen intimating bacteria. The advantages of wood ash are that the elements contained in it are easily absorbed by plants.

Many gardeners on their own experience noticed that the quality and effectiveness of ash depends on many circumstances. First of all, the initial raw material is important, i.e. Type of wood burned on fire. Deciduous trees Give ash, in which a lot of calcium. Conifers are leading in terms of phosphorus. Herbate plants (and vine grapes) - according to Kalia. If the peat burned down, then its ash (peat ash) contains a lot of lime, but little potassium. Sometimes such ash contains a large amount of iron, so it is useful for fruit trees. One of the most valuable is wood ash, which is obtained after the combustion of birch wood. Specialists note the value of the ashes of burnt stems of the Topinambur and Sunflower. They must be pre-dry.

Is it possible to use ash left from cooking kebabs on the purchase of coal? It is possible if on packages with coal it is written that it is wood, for example, birch or oak (I.V. Osnach "Living Earth. Biodynamic agriculture is a secret of abundance on your site").

In the book Paul Steinberg ("Oncewriter gardener recipe. Golden book Gardening, tested by time. Real recipes that have been more than 100 years old) seld advice on the use of ash. So, the wood ash of solid trees (oak, beech, etc.) warns the appearance of rotting on the fruits. It is useful to watering the trees with a liquid fertilizer, which is prepared from the overlooking bird litter Or the manure to which the binsky ash bucket is added to the barrel in the barrel. Before watering, you need to dissolve a bucket of liquid fertilizer with two buckets of water. The author notes that adult trees have such a liquid fertilizer, retreating approximately 1 - 1.5 m from the strain.

Woodwood is better to bring with a humor (compost) and peat. But simultaneous making it with nitrogen mineral fertilizers, manure (bird litter) or superphosphate leads to partial nitrogen loss. However, a sufficiently common liquid feeding is a mixture of ash, dung fat, reworked manure and microfertilizers, which is poured with water (ratio of 1: 2). After insisting within 5 - 8 days (with daily mixing and dilution with water), the fertilizer can be used for root feeding.

I bring wood ash in the soil at any time: in the fall, in early spring And in the summer. If you add asna as a heavy clay soil in the fall, then the earth will become more loose. Heavy soils longer detain useful substances from ash than sandy, in which they are washed out with water much faster. On the sandy soils, the ash is recommended to be added to the step even in the summer. The effect is observed within 2 - 4 years.

How to use wood ash

I fertilize ashes many garden and garden crops. This is potatoes (rising starchyness of tubers and yields), garden strawberry, cucumbers, zucchini, raspberry, currant, grapes and others. I am put ash in landing pit For roses, Clematis, and others. I use ash as a fertilizer for many indoor plants. Noticed that zonal ( room geranium) very quickly reacts to the introduction of ash in the soil. In addition, I often do drainage in flower pots From coals who find in wood ash. Noticed that this is an excellent tool that protects against the appearance of rainworms. They willingly climb into the soil through the holes at the bottom of the pots when houseplants Exhibited in summer to the garden.

Wood ash is a valuable product that I use contrary to all "rules." For example, several times per season I make it under. Once I heard this advice from a very smart and experienced flower. Since then, every season is definitely embroidered wood ash under the soil under the bushes of hydrangeas and immediately mix with the soil or pour fresh land from above. Hydrangees (all kinds) instantly respond to such a treat and bloom more.

I recently read in the book P. Steinberg Wonderful advice. In order for the flowers of hydrangea to acquire a blue color, it is worth using coal ash.

To obtain the same results, it is enough to grow a plant in the land of the following composition: equal amounts of peers and ash from coal are taken to this amount of ordinary garden land. All these substances must be carefully stirred. According to the experiments of the bar, the head of stone coal plays the main role in the color, which also informs the colors of hydrangea pure, which one can get a blue color.

Wood ash is an excellent prophylactic agent from diseases and pests of plants. She dismissed the potatoes in front of the landing, water infusion of ash (with the addition of green or economic soap) spray the shoots of the plants from the Tly. Try this way. Wheel will be finished in a matter of hours. True, immediately after such treatment in the garden, you can shoot a horror movie. But soon, when the ash can be mounted with rain or water from the hose, flowers, bushes and trees will become beautiful and healthy.

Helps ash and in the fight against the earthen flea.

With the advent of fleas in a large number of seedlings, it is necessary in the morning, by dew, pollinate the chicks as thick so that the greens sheet plate Not visible. This is repeated 3 - 4 in the morning in a row, as the waters daily with the leaves are washed off. In the north, where seedlings without harm can be left for longer time without watering, each sprinkle can serve 3 - 4 days, and this measure can be limited to. 3 - 4-fold furnaces of chimnery noticeably contributes to the growth of seedlings, repeatedly sprinkled, obviously due to the seasurement of it, slows down the growth of seedlings, why the seedler has to be fumeted with a leeward side smoke, which instantly drives fleas from seedlings. (Pavel Steinberg "Horizontal gardener recipe. Golden Garden Book, tested by time. Real recipes that have been more than 100 years old).

Gola drive and slugs. Its water influence with the addition of liquid soap spray plants from pulse dew. For prophylaxis, the cabbage from keel, potatoes from the wedge, the leaves of the gooseberry and currant - from malievous dew. In the ash infusion soaked seeds. In the previous times, the chimney ash freed the gardens from the chewing.

Wood ash can harm

There are plants (heather, rhododendrons, blueberries, etc.), which are required sour soil, and wood and peat ashs are noticeably observed the soil.

To collect ash from the fire (fireplace, furnace) it is better to take a metal bucket or metal basin. I spoiled a few plastic buckets, collecting ash, which appeared outwardly cooled. But it was cheating. The ash even the next day often retains heat and instantly burns plastic.

How to store wood ash?

Wood ash can be stored for a long time, if it is not exposed to moisture. Before laying aside for storage, it is sifted.

The teaspoon contains 2 g of sizzy wood ash. Tablespoon - 6 g, glass (faceted) - 100 g.

Any gardener knows that the soil from time to time needs fertilizer, otherwise rely on good harvest Do not have. However, the use of inorganic substances can lead to the fact that so lovely treasured tomatoes or strawberries will be a threat to life and health due to the increased content of "chemistry". The way out of this situation is simple - it is necessary to use a body to fertilize the garden, which contains a lot of useful substances and is absolutely safe. These substances include wood ash.

Its useful properties are known since time immemorial. It is not surprising that our ancestors when breaking the household site often did not come up, but burned vegetation, which made it possible to significantly increase the fertility of the soil. And nowadays, many laundering owners do not throw off the oven ash, and collect it in order to treat her vegetable in the spring.

Composition and beneficial properties of wood ash

The ash is rich in phosphorus and potassium, it refers to the category of mineral alkaline fertilizers, which very beneficially affect the composition and structure of the fertile layer of the soil. Such fertilizer is ideal for land with increased level Acidity, as it acts as a neutralizer. In addition to the enrichment with the useful substances, among which - zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and molybdenum - ash helps to accelerate the process of hydrogenation. This means that after harvesting the harvest, the fertile layer of the soil will not be fattened, and by the next season it will be ready to give a shameful harvest.

Since the ash refers to alkaline fertilizers, in parallel with the soil feed, it perfectly scares the pests and helps to keep the crop. It has been proven that this substance does not tolerate snails and wets, as well as bear and moles. In addition, ash can be replaced with lime when processing compost to reduce its acidity. This natural substance allows the soil more loose and soft, so that it is enriched with oxygen in which the plant needs so much.

It should be borne in mind that even on a plot with humus in the spring it is difficult to avoid the process of washing the useful substances from the ground with thawed waters. For this reason, every year the soil should be fertilized, and wood ash in this respect is the most optimal option.

What kind of tree species are best suited to obtain ash?

It is no secret that wood of various trees is distinguished not only by density and structure, but also a chemical composition. Naturally, this is reflected in the quality of ash, select which is necessary depending on the type of soil. So, if she needs to feed potassium, it is best to use the ash hardwood of trees. In turn, the ash, obtained from the needles, contains quite a lot of phosphorus.

In practice, the ash, obtained from any breeds of trees, can be successfully used to fertilize the household plot. Especially bright effect manifests itself on sandy soil, allowing you to increase the yield of fruits and vegetables several times.

How to make ash in the soil?

There are several options for fertilizing soil ash. If you are just cooking a landing site, it is advisable to sprinkle the soil to fertilizer, and then throw the garden. For Suglinkov, the ashes take at the rate of 100 g per 1 square meter. meter, and for sandstone - 70-80 g on the same area. If the earth is quite fertile and "fatty", then 30-40 g of ashes on one "square" will sufficiently be used for feeding.

When landing the garden trees and shrubs, the ash is very good to add to freshly buried wells - this will allow young plants faster to root and become an excellent feeding. For fruit trees, it is enough to pour 2 tablespoons of this organic fertilizer in the well, for bushes - 1 tablespoon.

Based on ash, it is also possible to prepare a fairly effective liquid fertilizer if we breed 150 g of this substance in 10 liters cold water. This mixture is recommended to water the plants several times per season at the rate of 0.5 liters of the wort of the bushes, 1.5 liters for trees and 0.2 liters for vegetable crops.

There is one more option in the soil of this fertilizer, which is used in the case when you need to reanimate root system. In this case, the ashes pour around the stem of the envelopes of the plant, be abundantly moisturizing the soil, and then sprinkle with dry ground.

What plants fits ash?

Scope of this fertilizer on panstone Pretty wide. It is perfect for all types of fruit trees, including exotic peaches and walnut. In addition, with the help of ashes, it is possible to significantly increase the yield of raspberry, currant, gooseberry and strawberries. It is indispensable for this organic fertilizer and in cases where potatoes, capricious tomatoes, radish, onions and garlic, cucumbers and peppers are needed in feeding. But with garden flowers it is worth the caution, since the ash is capable of easily destroying whole flower beds with luxurious azalia or rhododendons. Pretty susceptible to such fertilizer and garden blueberries, which loses its excellent taste.

What do you need to know when using ash on the naudelny plot?

First of all, it is necessary to comply with the elementary safety rules and work in the respirator, as the ash microparticles easily penetrate the respiratory tract and can provoke various diseases, including oncology. In addition, it is not necessary to get strongly carried away with this fertilizer, since too low the acidity of the soil can lead to the death of a number of agricultural crops.

Despite the fact that the ash is well adjacent to other types of fertilizers, do not make it in parallel with the feeder containing nitrogen. The whole thing is that ammonia is formed as a result of a chemical reaction, which is able to completely destroy the root system of plants. For the same reason, it is worth refraining from parallel making in the soil of wood ash and manure - it is possible to use these fertilizers with a breakdown of about 2-3 weeks.

The most often gardeners use wood ash as a fertilizer. This is one of the most popular breeding varieties for tomato, cucumbers, different species Colors, which is traditionally used in the household economy.

This feeding has a very rich chemical composition, which is rich in all the necessary elements for optimal development and rapid growth of the plant.

Fertilizers of ash are very effective with proper use. With their help, it is possible not only to increase the yield of vegetables, but also to significantly save on the purchase of dust. Such fertilizer is quite easy to make yourself, while you can easily get rid of garden garbage.

Composition fertilizer

The chemical composition is poured for each species of ash, as it changes depending on the variety of burned plant and its age. But a relatively accurate formula of ash was still calculated by Mendeleev. The percentage ratio of elements in ash approximately corresponds to the following indicators:

• calcium calcium carbonate and calcium silicate to 17%;
• sodium orthophosphate to 15%;
• calcium sulfate, calcium chloride and potassium orthophosphate from 12 to 14%;
• carbonate, silicate, magnesium sulfate up to 4%;
• sodium chloride up to 0.5%.

From the presence presented, it is clear that the feeding in the form of wood ash is able to fully satisfy the need. garden plants In the main nutritional element - calcium.

The use of ash provides a full growth and development of the root structure and greens of all country plants, but especially such fertilizer is important for cultures with the dominant overground part. Without adding ash impurities, the cultivation of cucumbers, tomato, pumpkins and zucchini is not accouted.

A varieties of ash

Professional gardeners have favorite types of wood ash, because such a bait is checked by generations and is available for independent manufacture. Its chemical composition and properties depends on the raw material selected as the basis for the preparation of fertilizer, therefore the ash itself is divided into varieties based on the organic material selected as the basis.

Among the most popular options for this dust, various source materials are used:

• Large breeds of trees. The ash from such raw materials, as well as from grassy crops with a durable structure of the stem, for example, sunflower and buckwheat, will help deploy an increased dose of potassium and calcium into the soil, which will ensure the balance of the balance in the soils with increased acidity.
• Coniferous species of trees. Also significantly enrich the soil composition by calcium. Additionally, are an excellent source of phosphorus. Similar properties has a feeding of wheat straw and rye.

• Peat. This composition has the minimum level of useful chemical elements And more often used as an admixture of the soil to maintain an acceptable level of acidity.
• Coal. Not suitable for fertilizing garden crops, but due to the high level of sulfur in the composition, used to acidify soils.
• Shale ash. The presence of calcium in this product comes to 65%, which makes such a fertilizer is very effective. But the slate is less accessible than other types of raw materials, the poet is rarely used.

Often the choice of the source material depends not on the needs and characteristics of the soil, and on the availability of organic waste from economic activity. After all, such a solution allows not only to get rid of garbage, but also get a safe and effective fertilizer.

Application in the nursery

There is a mass of methods and technician to make an organic ash in the soil. Professional gardeners have special techniques that are inherited, but for a beginner, fertilizer ash can become a problem. Improper contribution of combustion products to the soil will not bring the expected result and can harm harvest.

To avoid errors, you need to adhere to a few simple rules:

• the bait from ash is great for potatoes, tomato, strawberry and strawberry bushes, grapes, cucumbers and flowering plants;
• fertilizers need to be made on the sublinks and clay soils in the autumn period, after harvesting, and on the samp and sandy varieties of the soil - in the spring period;
• at the consumption of ash in 200-300 grams per 1 square meter, the effect will continue for up to 4 years;
• for soils with an acidic medium, the sharing of wood ash will increase the resistance of plants to frosts;

• in addition to the direct application of the ashes in the ground, it can be successfully added to the compost, where it will act as a catalyst for the decomposition process;
• many gardeners love to water the plants by inferior 100 grams of ashes on the water bucket;
• to soak seeds of cucumbers, tomato and zucchini worth using a solution that insisted for at least a day, so the seeds will receive the necessary stock of all trace elements for full-fledged development;
• it is necessary to store ash in a dry place, as the moisture will deprive the fertilizer of useful properties and makes it use meaningless;

• it is impossible to combine ash with nitrogen fertilizers, as they neutralize each other's action, the gap between application should be at least a month;
• adding to ash impurities with phosphorus content will also reduce the level of the efficiency of the bait;
• it cannot be used as raw materials treated wood and household waste, toxic and harmful connections from these materials will only harm crop.

The ash is excellent fertilizer not only in the garden. It is perfect for use in greenhouse conditions, in the garden and even for home plants. Professional florists often use inland ashes for watering colors. Yes, and hotel lovers love this simple and efficient additive.

Microelements, which are part of ash, stimulate color growth, and regular use of such a natural stimulator temper the immune system of the plant, making it more resistant to various diseases of colors.

Use of application

The use of ash adhesive in the garden is quite varied, and effectiveness is proved by the experience of generations. Plants after the processing of the soil are not only growing and faster, but also become more resistant to the effects of negative factors in the form of bad weather conditions or garden diseases.

Especially noticeable benefit for vegetables and colors.

So, for a higher quality and increased yield of cucumbers, eggplants and patissons, it is enough to dry up the soil with one glass of ash, and after disembarking, enter the bush on the bush. The crop of cucumbers under such conditions will get everything necessary trace elementsWhat will make plants more enduring and prolific. Also, when placing cucumbers, it is very effective to pre-process the seeds as ash dust to stimulate the growth of the plant.

Salads, cabbage and greens prefer more saturated with lords: 1 cup of ashes is made to a square meter of the site before landing, and half under the bush. And the bow and garlic is wiser to fertilize in the autumn period, so microelements interact better with the soil and make onions and garlic more resistant to various weather conditions.

For tomato optimal decision will become infusion. When watering the tomato solution of ash and water, the liquid must be constantly mixed. So water is optimally saturated useful elementsand they are easier to digest culture. Tomato bushes must be watering under the root, avoiding entering leaves and fruits.

The cultivation of colors on the garden also does not cost without applying ashes. In the case of the flower beds, the fertilizer is better not to make when disembarking, but to use as lure. Dry ash is made by the roar of perennial perennial colors. A nutritious watering is also possible for which 100 grams is well suitable on the water bucket within 2 days.

Protection against pests

Often plants on the garden need not only in additional pricultum, but also in protection against garden pests. It is possible to effectively cope with slugs, snails, wires, ants and even aphids using pollination and sprinklers.

The crop of cucumbers and tomato can be protected from insect encroachment, simply sprinkling the surface of the root of ashes, insects will be bypass such a bush. You can also protect the rose bushes from thephids, it is enough to drink the ashes with the ashes of the stem in the spring, and access to foliage and colors is closed.

The widest use of ash for both protection and fertilizer of garden crops, in addition to essential benefits, is absolutely safe for the household economy, since chlorine and other hazardous substances are practically no contained in organic ash. Products grown using this tool are useful and have a high level of quality, which is very important for the private farm.
