Hi. I am a farmer and I live on the other side of the globe and soils here often have pH values above 8. It is like a continuing struggle to keep the soil fertile. Years ago I also used wood ash, a boat load of it and that piece of land is right now significantly the most fertile of all. However my method differed and I used sulfuric acid when mixing potash in water. It made the mixture sizzle for a bit. I also used humic acid, compost, urine, bone and blood meals from a nearby slaughterhouse. Not only I had to use exactly zero amounts of chemical commercial fertilizers I also grew lush vegetables and had abundant harvests. Recently I have started to use chicken and dairy manures again as I see the soil losing fertility. I also learnt about AEC which is similar to CEC (anion and cation exchange capacity of a soil). AEC is never talked about for monetization reasons probably. Clay or other soil particles alone do not have enough capacity to hold on to all the positively and negatively charged ions of minerals. It is imperative to have a lot of organic matter in the soil so that the ions and any sort of fertilizer you add to your soil can "stick" inside of it instead of getting washed down with water. Just wanted to share my experience.

Watched an old fellow one time plant a huge garden of potatoes long ago, no motorized equipment and no rototiller. Dug the furrows with a hoe and then he went down in his cellar and brought up a big bucket full of wood ashes and spread along the bottom of the furrows, then set out his cut potatoes(chitting) and covered them. Had the best potatoes ever. People need to get back to some of the old ways of doing things. They might learn something! Also, wood ashes from my pellet stove work great for potash.

Sometimes people make their own charcoal in simple trenches. It's pretty easy, you just dig a trench, fill it with brush, burn it and douse it well when the wood is charred to the extent you want. I bring this up because I'm trying some new beds where I dug a small trench, burned wood in it, and then after gathering most of the char built a sort of hugel bed on top of that. My idea is that any ash left in there from letting some of the wood burn completely will be in the soil for the plants to use. I also think that having some char in the trench as well as "normal" wood hugel-style should be a benefit as well, for drainage and the usual reasons people like biochar, so I'm working with that too after innoculating the charcoal.

If my calculations are correct, this comes to roughly one tablespoon of ash per gallon. This might make it easier if you just want to mix it in your watering jug as you go. I'm going to try this next year in my veggie garden... Thanks for the video!

[@donberry6079]

I must beg to differ sir. My calculations show approx 3 tbsp/gal water concentration (conc) has 1 gal ash/5 gal water = 20% ash 0.2*16 cup/gal. = 3.2 cups ash/gal conc. = 0.2 cup ash/cup of conc. to make final mix, add 1 cup of conc to 1 gal water. This makes 1 + 16 = 17 cups mix. The amount of ash is still 0.2 cups. Thus, we have now 0.2 cups ash/17 cups water. Converting: (0.2 cups ash/17 cups water) * (16 cups water/gal water) * (16 tbsp ash/cup ash) = 3.01176 tbsp of ash/gal water. Round off to 3 tbsp/gal water. Interesting math problem. I agree a 1 gal mixture is easier to handle and does not tie up a 5 gal bucket for months.

I am only familiär with metric. How much is 0.2 cups ash in gramms?

[@JakobKobberholm]

@ry6079 1 part ash to 5 parts water = 6 parts in total, making it 1/6 (16.6667%) ash, not 1/5 (20%). He then goes on to say 1 cup per gallon (In his example it is 2.5 cups per 2.5 gallon), so in this case, the cups are included in the total (it only holds 2.5 gallons, not 2.5 gallons + 2.5 cups). This means the resulting mixture is 1/16 concentrate (not 1/17). So it's 16.6667% (by volume) in the concentrated mix and then diluted to 1/16 (6.25%) of that, to a total of 1.04% ash to water (by volume). I don't normally work with imperial units, so I let Google do the last part. It claims there are 16 US tablespoons in a US gallon, meaning 1.04% of a gallon is 2.6624 tbsp.

[@thevoyager3903]

I take our pot ash and put it in the compost pile so that gets in everything like that. Adding this potash to your garden is how you get tons of micronutrients that you need into your body

[@paulmaxwell8851]

We have a serious potato scab problem and are working hard to bring the pH down to 5.3, at which scab becomes inactive. It's taking us three years, using elemental sulfur. That's the one place I would never use wood ash water, as it does raise the pH of the soil. I've experimented with this. Higher pH is just fine for most of the garden. It also reduces clubroot problems in the brassicas.

Love your channel so far!

[@dogslobbergardens6606]

Straight wood ash is strongly alkaline. Dumping a lot of it in one place can indeed cause pH problems. If you REALLY overdo it, you can straight up kill plants with too much wood ash. You can use straight wood ashes on purpose to kill weeds; after a couple good rains or waterings it will be diluted out and your soil will be ready to grow something else. Diluting the ash as shown here adds moderates amounts of the minerals several times a year instead of all at once and avoids burning the plants. I suspect that by adding it all at once just in the autumn as you described, it's getting diluted by rain/snow naturally over the winter, so there's not a problem. If it's working for you, keep doing that :)

[@gardenlikeaviking]

the DogSlobber guy below said it pretty well

[@AutumnLocks]

That looks great. I wouldn't touch the mix with bare skin after its sat a while and if I did, I'd immediately rinse it off. You made lye water, and our ancestors used to do jist that to make soap. At a that ratio, it's probably not strong enough to burn you, but it might be irritating to people with sensitive skin. :)

Wood ash is high in carbon, very important for the soil.

[@dogslobbergardens6606]

The older/larger the wood, the more carbon the ash will contain. Small/young sticks and twigs will have a higher percentage of other minerals as the host said. Depending on what you want to add to your soil, you can adjust accordingly by which types and ages of wood you burn.

[@rjbjr]

Native Americans used to burn open areas to maintain grasslands in the fall in many parts of Montana before the Cattle and sheep ranchers came in and chased the natives away. This made the grasses grow stronger the next year and enticed elk, deer and bison to move into these hunting grounds. Native Americans where not vegetarians, and hadn't learned to raise grains and fence in land like the advanced white men had. If you want to raise a civilization of sheeple, just feed them mostly grains.

Small notice, ash composition depends on burning temperature. (I found it in scientic article.) Low temperature fire means most of potassium stays in the ash. However with high temperature of fire potassium eventualy evaporates with the smoke leaving behind mostly a calcium. Potassium is major fertiliser element. Well, burning evaporates all the sulphur and nitrogen but ash have benefits on its own. It helps with a snails, helps to build up soil matrix, improves excessive nitrogen from compost alone.

The only minimum negative aspect of this type of fertilizer as well as with the use of calcium alone, is that it speeds up a little the mineralization of organic matter of the soil because microorganisms which "eat" the O.M. are much more active when they get this kind of fertilizers or just calcium. But that is not an important issue if your soil has more than 5% of O.M. Blessings !!!

excellent what to say i am speechless short and very educative video

[@gardenlikeaviking]

thank you my friend!

[@FishingForLife28]

Great stuff! Im gonna make a batch or two of this when my tomatoes starts fruiting

[@robertsanders339]

I have tryed potatoes two times second time I got just a few The 3rd time I used wood ash once a week like u say I didn’t get tons but I got a bunch Thank u plus this year I am doing them as u showed

[@highlandsgardeningcoach]

Ooh! Thank you again. I'm not sure where I would get wood ash in my area, but I'll definitely be looking around. Another great share! I love your content.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

in a large coffee can poke some holes and burn twigs and leaves and sticks until you have enough!... good luck

[@gnarlytreeman]

I burn the pallets and free cardboard in business dumpsters. Use a big bonfire. Then scoop up with a shovel and sift the nails out. I just dont use ash as a water fertalizer, i just shake it on straight, rained on or not. Ive got about a wheelbarrow full of ash sitting in the burn pit right now. So i definitely know thats an easy way to get it. I would try swamp water tea instead for a feralizer instead. Its basically all the weeds you pull from the garden, and all plsnt trimmings, in a bucket filled with water on a fish tank bubbler. Used straight. It contains growth hormone enzymes from the weeds, minerals, and larger animos, and nitrogen from the bubbler. Its every bit as effective as miracle grow when applied daily. Just be careful to use the bubbler, it works if you dont, but creates a deadly superbug yeast that could kill a woman from sepsis via Urinary Tract Infection. And doesnt wash off with ordinary antibacterial soap. Gotta use better than dial. Men wont get a uti from it, or a least nothing dangerous, dunno why.

Do you know how to make a fire? If you put bones in the fire you get more calcium carbonate from the ashes. Straight wood ashes give you potassium carbonate and a bit of hydroxide. Depending on what you add to the fire you can get other things as well. 🤓🍻

[@davidquartey]

@@alsaunders7805 what other things can you get? Is there a source online to read more on what you can put in the fire to get more minerals?

[@alsaunders7805]

@@davidquartey Everything is online if you ask the right questions. I have only researched calcium and potassium though as far as wood ashes go. I put them in my compost for the garden and I'm experimenting with making potassium nitrate (saltpeter) for black powder. 🤔🍻

[@codysaunders7348]

This is the first video that showed me how to make liquid potash fertilizer, thank you! I thought why couldn't you do this, but no one has demonstrated. I'm growing an acre of potatoes, which are super heavy potassium feeders. I'll let you know how harvest is ✌

[@gardenlikeaviking]

great to hear!... yes please let me know how it goes

[@marinetrax]

Have you harvested your potato's yet? Interested in knowing your result. Cheers

[@codysaunders7348]

@@gardenlikeaviking honestly man, it was incredible. We did some different control groups based on the different organic nutrients used to fertilize. Everything that got potash water every 2 weeks after blooming was triple the yield. The best regiment we found was to feed the initial growth with chicken manure water, I think it's around 4 1 2, then once the flowers begin to form, water with a heavily diluted liquid potash fertilizer every 2 weeks, with the week in between watering without nutrients. We harvested about 7000lbs of Blue Sapphire potatoes, by hand and this was our first year on freshly cut forest. Your video was of great utility to us, thank you

[@codysaunders7348]

@@marinetrax hello my friend, I responded above about our results. The Potash water is incredible for increasing spud yield 🍻

[@FloridaGirl-]

Wow! This is so timely! I was going to burn some wood and sticks this week to make some ash. But I’ll definately be using this water down method! (Subscribed) 👍

[@thebitcoingarden]

Beautiful growth thanks for sharing 🙌

[@annewangari3466]

So glad to hear the art and magic of ash. I must work to get maximum profit from this. Your explanation is wow.God bless you bro.

Very very informative. Thank you. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘

You are genius my friend! You explain everything soooo nice!!! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful video 🌷...

10gm ash per squre foot area is perfectly fine in any kind of soils once in month

[@lauramorgan2003]

Hi i can attest to that. Before our house burndown I'd planted some popchoe seed that did not sprout.after the fire they all sprouted and did sow well the neighbors had a feast. Your so right.

[@leonsoboleski2969]

What is popchoe?

[@crazysquirrel9425]

The minerals are contained in the bark of the wood, not the heartwood part. I did a method similar to the author's. Except I used distilled white vinegar and water in the mix. Note: when doing this, it offgasses ammonia. Don't do it around your house!

[@waterdog226]

Thank you for the ratios!

[@reidogarimpo1691]

Muito bom voce entende muito obrigado e Deus lhe abençoe

[@michaelrichardson2359]

Thank you for answering my question; whether wood ash is the same as Potassium.

[@frankceasar317]

thanks for the video, it would rais the ph though, however its ok because we can always adjust it, usually other organic NPK lower the PH specially the fish fertilizers, but ash and biochar will rais ph, again in the end we can adjust the ph before watering. thanks again for all your videos im a supporter to your channel

[@chepindichepindi3328]

You are so great and knowledgeable.thanks

[@rockymini625]

Good information thank you so much. What about a house plans in banana plants do they like potash in its raw form the way you present it here is there different ratios that I should be applying?
