How to Make Liquid Fertilizer with Ash

🌱 Why Ash Works as a Fertilizer

• Rich in potassium – Supports flowering and fruiting

• Contains calcium – Strengthens plant cell walls

• Naturally alkaline – Helps balance overly acidic soils

⚠️ Tips & Warnings:

• ✅ Use only clean wood ash — avoid ashes from charcoal, painted, or treated wood.

• ✅ Use this fertilizer once every 2–4 weeks to avoid over-fertilizing.

• ❌ Don’t use on acid-loving plants (like azaleas, blueberries, or hydrangeas), as ash can raise soil pH.

• ❌ Avoid overuse — too much ash can make the soil too alkaline.
