Sifted to ensure that there is nothing larger than what will pass thru a window screen.

Using wood ash in your garden can be beneficial, but it’s essential to apply it correctly. Here are some ways to utilize wood ash effectively:

1.                              Soil Amendment:

o                                                        Correct Soil Acidity: Wood ash can help neutralize overly acidic soil. If your soil pH is too low (acidic), sprinkle wood ash over the soil and mix it in. However, be cautious not to overdo it, as excessive use can raise the pH too much.

o                                                        Potassium Boost: Wood ash contains potassium, which is essential for plant growth. If your soil lacks potassium, incorporate wood ash to provide this nutrient.

2.                              Composting:

o                                                        Add small amounts of wood ash to your compost pile. It helps speed up decomposition and provides essential minerals to the compost.

3.                              Pest Control:

o                                                        Deter Slugs and Snails: Sprinkle a thin line of wood ash around plants vulnerable to slugs and snails. The ash’s texture irritates these pests, keeping them away.

o                                                        Keep Bears Out of Compost: If you have a compost pile, sprinkle wood ash on top to deter bears from digging into it.

4.                              Plant Health:

o                                                        Bust Blossom End Rot: Blossom end rot affects tomatoes and peppers. Wood ash, with its calcium content, can help prevent this condition.

o                                                        Frost Protection: Before a frost, lightly dust plants with wood ash. It acts as an insulating layer, protecting tender plants.

5.                              Algae Control:

o                                                        Pond Algae: If you have a garden pond, sprinkle wood ash on the water’s surface. It can help control algae growth.

Remember these tips when using wood ash:

·                                 Moderation: Use wood ash sparingly. Too much can harm plants.

·                                 Cool Ash: Only use cooled wood ash. Hot ash can damage plants.

·                                 Avoid Acid-Loving Plants: Don’t apply wood ash around acid-loving plants like blueberries or rhododendrons.
