Ash is not suitable for all vegetables as a fertilizer.

In this article, you will learn in what cases you should discard ash.

When should you not use ash as fertilizer

First of all, we are talking about plants that prefer acidic soils.

These include watermelons, radishes, sorrel, hydrangea, rose, zinnia, blueberries, and azalea.

In addition, various coniferous plants do not like ash - juniper, spruce, thuja, larches, and fir.

Ash is not suitable for feeding radishes. After you add the ash, it may go into arrows and there will be no harvest.

Sorrel also loves slightly acidic soil; if it is flavored with ash, the sorrel will not grow.

If you deoxidize the soil with watermelon ash, water metabolism will be disrupted and, as a result, the fruits will begin to rot and stop growing.

In the flower garden, it is also not recommended to fertilize plants that prefer acidic or neutral soil with ash.

These include camellia, hydrangea, calendula, lavender, primrose.
