Wood Ash

Never Throw Away Wood Ash if You Have a Garden 361,564 views 6.4K 156 SHARE Natural Ways Published on Aug 8, 2017 SUBSCRIBED 765K Each cord of firewood that you burn leaves you with 20 pounds of ashes or more, depending on your fuel source, heating appliance, and wood-burning skill. Wood ash is primarily composed of calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, but also contains trace amounts of iron, sodium and zinc. Because it’s created through the combustion of plant materials, it holds many of the elements needed to support new growth and has long been used by gardeners and farmers as a natural soil amendment. Here are top 5 uses of wood ash in your yard. 1.Neutralize Acidic Soil. Unless you are growing acid-loving plants like blueberries, peppers, and azaleas, you will want to maintain a soil pH of between 6 to 7.5 in your garden beds. This range is considered ideal because nutrients in fertilizers will be readily dissolved in water and better absorbed by the plant’s roots. Acidic soil (a pH below 6) means plants won’t receive enough nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium. Wood ash contains up to 70% calcium carbonate and can be used as a substitute for lime. As a general rule, never exceed 25 pounds of wood ash per 1,000 square feet of soil and always re-test your soil after applying wood ash. 2.Add it to Your Compost Pile. Wood ash added to your compost will help boost the heap’s potassium levels, a key nutrient for flowering and fruiting. But including wood ash in the compost should be done in moderation – at a rate of every six inches of compost pile – because wood ash is alkaline. Too much of the stuff will raise the pH value of your compost pile. 3.Make Ash Tea. Just as compost tea is an awesome organic, all-purpose fertilizer, ash tea can likewise be brewed to prevent or correct potassium deficiencies. Brown spots, curling leaf tips, yellowing between leaf veins, slower plant growth and reduced crop yield are some of the telltale signs your plants are not receiving enough potassium. To make tea from wood ash, place five pounds of ash in a cloth bag (like an old pillowcase) and tie it closed. Place the ash bag in a 50-gallon garbage bin filled with water and allow it to steep for several days. Once the ash tea has brewed, pour about a cup’s worth around your plants weekly. 4.Fertilize Your Lawn A light dusting of wood ash on the lawn can help promote greener pastures. After applying ashes to your yard, water it well to prevent the beneficial nutrients from blowing away. 5.Melt Ice & Snow One safe and natural alternative to create traction, de-ice, and melt snow is wood ashes. Because wood ash contains potash – or potassium carbonate – a type of salt that is much eco-friendlier than chloride-based salts, it can help break up ice and melt snow when scattered on driveways and walkways. Unlike rock salt, it won’t corrode surfaces like concrete and metal, harm the paws of your four-legged friends, or damage your plants come spring.

A few years back an old timer couldn’t believe that I was wasting my wood ash to melt snow. I heard of using ash in the garden but never put it directly into the garden only mixed some into my mulch bin, to me it was just some more organic matter. Well after this old time gardener “schooled” me about the benefits of using the ash I agreed to do it. I did get a nice crop the following year & I still use it. I since then started raising chickens & use a deep bedding method in the coop & add ash into that also. It works great in there. Besides getting some of the best mulch I ever produced the chickens really like to dust themselves with it especially in the winter when the ground in their run is too hard or frozen. Thanks you for sharing. Stay well, Joe Z.

Earthworm

This is What Happens When You Put Earthworm in Your garden soil 607,583 views 6.4K 273 SHARE Natural Ways Published on Jul 23, 2017 SUBSCRIBED 765K Earthworms are vital for good-soil. They aerate the soil as they move by burrowing small holes. They process organic-matter in their bodies and return vital compounds to the soil, increasing the nutrients available to plants. Let’s take a closer look at how earthworms benefit your garden. 1. Improves soil nutrient availability Earthworms help create humus, which is a dark brown-black type of soil that holds important nutrients in place for plant growth and use. The worms feed on plant debris such as manure, grass, leaves and dead roots, as well as the soil. The digestive-system of the worm concentrates the mineral and organic compounds in the food they consume, so their casts become richer in available nutrients than the soil around them When worms die, the body of a worm decomposes rather quickly, which further contributes to the nitrogen-content of the soil. 2.Better drainage Earthworms also improve drainage and prevent soil-erosion and waterlogging, as their extensive channeling and burrowing help to loosen and aerate the soil and improve soil-drainage. Research has found that soil with earthworms drain as much as 10-times faster than soil without earthworms. 3.Improved soil structure The casts of earthworms help to cement the soil particles together. These sticky substances “glue” the mineral particles together in the aggregates and, at the same time, in a kind of mutual-relationship, the mineral particles help to protect the organic-matter to some extent from microbial-attacks, thus preserving it for a longer time in the soil. When your soil has worm-castings, they help to improve the structure and fertility of every type of soil, even on reclaimed land that has little or no topsoil. As the castings are water soluble, they have an immediate positive impact on plant growth. Now, how to Attract Earthworms to Your Garden. If you have no earthworms, or very few, attracting them to your garden can allow you to take advantage of all of their benefits. • Add organic material. If there are few earthworms in your garden, it may be because your soil is compacted or low in organic-material. You can add chopped-leaves, straw, grass-clippings, dead-roots, semi-decomposed compost, and animal-manure to your garden which will allow worms to thrive. Earthworms feed on soil and dead or decaying plant remains, including straw, leaf litter and dead-roots as well as animal-dung. Earthworms prefer damp and cool environments, but not too dry, too wet or cold. The thicker the soil canopy, the easier it will be to maintain those desirable conditions. Earthworms don’t like acidic-soils with PH-levels less than 4.5. The addition of lime will raise pH while also adding calcium. They need a continuous supply of calcium, so are absent in soils lacking in this element. • Maintain a no-dig or bare minimum dig garden. The less digging, the better. Just dig enough to get new plants in. Let the earthworms do all the soil churning and turning. You can also consider to purchase earthworms or you can take them from your worm-farm and add them to the soil.

Spring would come around and the leaves would be tilled under that were placed on top from the previous season. Man, worms all over the place. This year I was doing the gardening for mom since dad had passed away. I left the chopped up leaves on top as a natural mulch. I had little weeding to do. Planting seeds was easy. All I did was move the leaf mulch to the side in rows and plant. Anyway, while moving the leaves to the side all I saw were earthworms just under the leaf mulch. Fantastic crop. Little weeding. This fall I'll till everything under and then as the leaves are cleaned up and chopped up with the lawn mower I'll place these on top of the garden again. I'll see if it works just as well next year.

He said it's fall; maybe after a freeze? I can see the soil well. Also, if you do that every year, the shells will break down. Artichokes love it. And broccoli and cabbage take up the calcium which help the gardener's bones as well. Yes, beer works, esp. if you mix it with flour. The slimys get stuck in it.

How To Grow Oyster Mushrooms From Used Coffee Grounds Cheap And Easy - Part 1

SleestaksRule Published on Sep 20, 2013 http://www.tomorrowsgarden.net/ I've been looking into growing mushrooms for the past 8 months or so. What I have learned is that they have a great deal of medicinal properties and are a good source of protein. Amazingly, they can be grown quickly out of practically nothing. They don't need an artificial light source and can be grown in various types of media such as wood chips, coffee grounds, grains, straw and manure. It's perfect for preppers as it's self sustaining and can provide a constant supply of food in very little time. It's knowledge that everyone should have. This is video 1 in a series that go on to show various methods of growing mushrooms from start to finish with ease. See part 2 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aAiI...

That's right....80+% of Han Chinese are ydna haplogroup O (O1, O2, O3 now broken up into much smaller groups probably to confuse and hide the truth). 70-80% of Filipino men are also ydna haplogroup O1 and O3. Looks like invaders because the mtdna of the the two nations women is different. Killed the men, took the women and land. You can see the same thing happen in North America with the Natives. Land is taken. Men are pushed to the fringes of society yet lots of mixed children are born of "white" men (especially French and Scottish men) taking a native wife (pretend love but actually just enslavement). timetable disorder timetable disorder 6 days ago hey caucasus is not there at all. u bagaeroo Jazzlex Jazzlex 1 week ago no grapes do not grow in the Philippiness.this guy is a genius.This guy should be given an agricultural award. mmmpathy mmmpathy 1 week ago Baguio would be great for grapes zzzzzsleeping zzzzzsleeping 1 week ago (edited) Im trying hard to o grow lanzones in florida .
