What is Wood ash: the residue powder left over after the combustion of wood, such as burning wood in a home fireplace or an industrial power plant. It is used traditionally by gardeners as an organic fertilizer and it’s very a good source of potash. The PH value of wood is between 8 and 9.
One more point to remember is – there is something called Bio-Char – those small pieces of wood that have burnt completely but not converted into powder. These biochar pieces are excellent material to mix in a succulent soil mixture. But for soil amendment, when it comes to charcoal ash – that’s obtained by burning coal pieces, its better to avoid this for plants as this comes from burning of coal and it contains higher amount of metals which might harm your plants.
Wood ash, has a very high potassium carbonate content, which makes it an excellent choice as a fertilizer. In addition to potassium, wood ash is a rich source of phosphorus, calcium and magnesium. Additionally, it contains small amounts of useful micronutrients like: Molybdenum, Manganese, Copper, Sodium, Boron, Zinc and Iron.
It is a purely organic fertilizer - natural fertilizer, because it’s created through the combustion of plant materials that is wood. Its been used by gardeners and farmers since ages as a natural soil amendment.
