POTASH - A GREAT SOURCE OF TRACE ELEMENTS – 19 September 2012


I thought I had better empty out our fireplace…and of course the ash is terrific for the garden! This is great tip that some of you might not know about and the benefits of using it. I put some into my compost every so often as well as sprinkling it out on the garden. It of course potassium carbonate is full of:

  • lime
  • calcium
  • potassium
  • magnesium
  • trace element

All of which are great for stimulating plant growth!
This is a picture of my home-made potash prior to raking it in around my leeks, garlic, spring onions, shallots and red onions.  Right - had better go and rake it all in!
