Garden plants that should never be fertilized with ash: the same mistakes year after year

Ash is often used as an effective fertilizer for the garden.

However, this feeding is not suitable for all plants.

What vegetables and fruits cannot be fertilized with ash

Ash fertilization is not suitable for watermelons, radishes, sorrel, hydrangeas, roses, zinnias, calendula, lavender, blueberries and azaleas.

In addition, coniferous plants do not like ash.

For example, juniper, spruce, larch, fir. In addition, you should not use ash fertilizer for immature seedlings, as it contains a large amount of mineral salts.

What plants can be fertilized with ash

Ash introduced in spring promotes abundant flowering and ovary formation.

Many garden flowers respond well to fertilization with ash.

For example, peonies, roses, clematis, lilies, gladioli.

For them, as a rule, infusions are made, which are applied by the root or foliar method.

At the same time, there is no chlorine in such a valuable fertilizer, so it is recommended to use ash for feeding plants that react negatively to this element: strawberries, raspberries, currants, potatoes.

In addition, adding wood ash is good for pumpkin, cabbage, tomatoes, beets and cucumbers.
