How to Make Ash Fertilizer
Preparing an effective fertilizer with ash for a bountiful harvest is easy, you just need to have on hand the other ingredients necessary for its preparation:
- Half a kilo of ash;
- Some coal;
- 2 liters of water.
Put the water in a bucket, pour in the ash and then the charcoal and mix everything with a fairly long dry wooden stick so as not to get your hands wet. After mixing, add a solution prepared with water and previously macerated pieces of metal for a while .
This supplement is an excellent substitute for volcanic ash, which contains metals such as iron, magnesium and manganese, when volcanic ash is not available. Using this type of ash on plants feeds the bacteria that produce catalytic enzymes that are great for providing immediate nutrients. The benefits are for both the plants and the soil.
After receiving the fertilizer, simply spread it around the trunk of the plant once a month, but not too close. The fruits will be plentiful and juicy and you can eat oranges, lemons and other delicious citrus fruits.
