Not useful and even dangerous: which plants should never be fertilized with wood ash - you will ruin your garden
Wood ash is a proven tool that helps deliver nutrients to plants.
This penny product contains many essential microelements for good growth and fruiting of agricultural crops.
Despite all its beneficial properties, wood ash can cause irreparable harm to some plants.
What are the benefits of wood ash?
Wood ash contains phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, boron, and manganese. These nutrients stimulate the growth of cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and other crops.
However, the use of ash creates an excess of alkali in the soil, which is detrimental to a number of plants grown in the beds.
Thus, it is strictly not recommended to fertilize the following crops with ash:
- radish;
- carrot;
- sorrel;
- rhubarb;
- spinach.
It is also not worth fertilizing a number of flowers with ash, including azaleas, orchids, dracaenas and violets.
