Yes, ash is good for plants, wood ash, I even wrote in earlier posts that we add ash around the plant and on the plant, potatoes in the fight against the potato beetle. But Volcanic ash is not good.
Wood ash contains key plant nutrients, including potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, as well as trace elements. Potassium, calcium and magnesium are especially useful because they are soluble in water, which means that they act quickly on the soil.
Ash composition:
Potassium (K): Essential for plant growth, flower and fruit development.
Calcium (Ca): Required for the development of cell walls and the absorption of other nutrients.
Phosphorus (P): Key to root development and flowering.
Magnesium (Mg): Constituent part of chlorophyll, required for photosynthesis.
Trace elements: Small but important additions like boron, which are also necessary for plants.
Of course, the quality of ash depends on the type of wood used.
Ok, I didn't know that volcanic ash is not so good... you did a great job explaining that, yes... I am also educated about it except for the use with boron.
What exactly do you do with it and for which plants do you use it?
