*****RESULTS OF THE POTATO EXPERIEMENT*****.... the potatoes that received large amounts of ash fertilizer displayed ZERO ISSUES whatsoever!... in fact they were a bit harder and with higher yields than the potatoes that did not receive it... for me the issue is settled = Using ash to fertilize potatoes is very beneficial.

I agree, 1 like have been using 1 handfull off ash pr/m2 mtr once 1 a years with excellent result, during rotation in my garden, this only happend every 4th year - so no poisening. Potash improve development of ruth and entlagement of the bulbs also - lesser desiece in plants and earlier harvest. Great tip - recommend it.

Watched an old fellow one time plant a huge garden of potatoes long ago, no motorized equipment and no rototiller. Dug the furrows with a hoe and then he went down in his cellar and brought up a big bucket full of wood ashes and spread along the bottom of the furrows, then set out his cut potatoes(chitting) and covered them. Had the best potatoes ever. People need to get back to some of the old ways of doing things. They might learn something! Also, wood ashes from my pellet stove work great for potash.

Sometimes people make their own charcoal in simple trenches. It's pretty easy, you just dig a trench, fill it with brush, burn it and douse it well when the wood is charred to the extent you want. I bring this up because I'm trying some new beds where I dug a small trench, burned wood in it, and then after gathering most of the char built a sort of hugel bed on top of that. My idea is that any ash left in there from letting some of the wood burn completely will be in the soil for the plants to use. I also think that having some char in the trench as well as "normal" wood hugel-style should be a benefit as well, for drainage and the usual reasons people like biochar, so I'm working with that too after innoculating the charcoal.

Hi. I am a farmer and I live on the other side of the globe and soils here often have pH values above 8. It is like a continuing struggle to keep the soil fertile. Years ago I also used wood ash, a boat load of it and that piece of land is right now significantly the most fertile of all. However my method differed and I used sulfuric acid when mixing potash in water. It made the mixture sizzle for a bit. I also used humic acid, compost, urine, bone and blood meals from a nearby slaughterhouse. Not only I had to use exactly zero amounts of chemical commercial fertilizers I also grew lush vegetables and had abundant harvests. Recently I have started to use chicken and dairy manures again as I see the soil losing fertility. I also learnt about AEC which is similar to CEC (anion and cation exchange capacity of a soil). AEC is never talked about for monetization reasons probably. Clay or other soil particles alone do not have enough capacity to hold on to all the positively and negatively charged ions of minerals. It is imperative to have a lot of organic matter in the soil so that the ions and any sort of fertilizer you add to your soil can "stick" inside of it instead of getting washed down with water. Just wanted to share my experience.

I read that ashes and vinegar to neutalize them, then top up with water, makes acetate minerals which are among the most absorbable for for foliar feeding and foliar works 5-8 times better than fertilizer anyway so you can drench the crap out of them with a sprayer for even better effect.

Been saving my wood ash all winter just for this video, no seriously.

Hi! Just found this video. My daddy always used woodshed to dust his garden plants. Especially potato plants! It helped kill potato bugs in the same way DE does.

Sweet potatoes thrive on potash ! Generally anything that needs potassium will love you for using it ! I sprinkle the ash in my sweet potatoes and they love it and have a much petter taste.

I love this my friend

Really, you are doing great. Keep it up.

Best way is to sprinkle the ashes around the plants roots and lightly water it in. I've done this for years

My great aunt who moved to California many years ago, bought a property with a ocean view in the early 60's that had been burned over. She only put a wooden fence around the property, and held onto it until Sping, then sold it for 1.5 million dollars. She had bought it for next to nothing, because it looked so desolate, and ugly, but in the Sping it was lush and green again.

Great idea! Everyone should try it, and produce more food. What you cannot eat, give to family and friends and sell the rest. I will try this out tomorrow with ashes from my fireplace. I would assume charcoal ashes will work too.

I swear I watched this video a couple times before but didn't get everything out of it even though it was short and sweet. I am a victim of brainwashing from the non-organic side. I started using the wood ash and then stopped because somebody said something about the pH. Meanwhile I have accumulated enough wood ash to do much work and it just sits there because of my brainwashing. I watched this video again and changed my mind. I'm going to use it starting tomorrow. Thank you Nate.

I strongly agree Sir. Wood ash is also one of the best natural fertilizers.

Very nice information n learned how to use wood ash.sofar l don't know the value of wood Ash.Thank you .

We have a serious potato scab problem and are working hard to bring the pH down to 5.3, at which scab becomes inactive. It's taking us three years, using elemental sulfur. That's the one place I would never use wood ash water, as it does raise the pH of the soil. I've experimented with this. Higher pH is just fine for most of the garden. It also reduces clubroot problems in the brassicas.

I hear that's how they do it in India. So many myths in the gardening community and not enough actual facts. I'm going to really test this theory out and use this all over my plants whenever I can.

I take our pot ash and put it in the compost pile so that gets in everything like that. Adding this potash to your garden is how you get tons of micronutrients that you need into your body

Up north in Canada, I had heard about brush fires that would produce beautiful blueberries.

I add my wood ash in late winter and early spring. I do so to get some color on the deep snow to help it melt so soil can start to warm sooner in zone 3. I do know of its benefits as fertilizer as well. I also make charcoal and add to my chicken coop to absorb oders and fertility. Then after time it goes in the garden after a trip through the compost pile.

This is unrelated to potash but i grow mushrooms the gourmets use hardwood and soyhulls. That stuff is amazing for a fertilizer and compost. I also add coffee grounds and gypsum. Then "other" mushrooms use coir and vermiculite plus gypsum and coffee grounds again great for compost and fertilizer. Plus will have some surprises every once awhile

Small notice, ash composition depends on burning temperature. (I found it in scientic article.) Low temperature fire means most of potassium stays in the ash. However with high temperature of fire potassium eventualy evaporates with the smoke leaving behind mostly a calcium. Potassium is major fertiliser element. Well, burning evaporates all the sulphur and nitrogen but ash have benefits on its own. It helps with a snails, helps to build up soil matrix, improves excessive nitrogen from compost alone.

You still need some Nitrogen. Allow some manure to ferment with that ash water with a pinch of lime and you should be fine.

that nice i always use wóid for cooking
