So i watched a video on a grow from OZ who dug out his fire pit and threw the ashes at the base of his plants.
My Parents have been firing the ashes into the garden for years.
So i did some research on making your own potash tea. Turns out all the of the stuff that your plants need disolves instantly in water.
In theory you can take your ash, put it in a bucket of water, stir, strain, water plants.
I did this last night. Made a fucking mess, however, i did get some nice stinky brown water to water one of my plants with. I should have made notes.
Was wondering if anyone has done this before? What was their system and did it help.
On a fun fact note, in my research i found out that the ash isn't burnt wood. I always assumed that the ashes were what happens to wood when it burns. Ash is actually all the minerals and compounds in the wood that arn't flammable. Its just unflammable material, doesn't burn, so is the only thing that remains. I thought that was kinda neat.
