RE: Be Careful Adding Wood Ash to the Garden 🔥Fire & Hard Lesson Learned...
Indeed. We have a very low pH soil here around 5.3 and I'm working to raise it to around 6.0 in the garden to grow a wider variety. Fortunately we have a lot of oak and hickory here.
That's perfect! In that application, it'll work great. Many fruiting plants will enjoy the potash and phosphorous added. I have to amend my soil down a bit, I'm totally neutral here at 7. My well water is slightly acidic (6.8), so I do not amend much unless I notice nutrient lockout/deficiencies. I'm a tomato grower, so 6.2 is where I would prefer to have the soil. But.. I do my best with what I've got 😋
