What are the uses of plant ash in home gardening?

"How many friends can I know?" Grass ash is something that is often seen in rural areas, very much, because there is no heating in the countryside, mainly relying on firewood, and the heat is generated after the straw is burned, and the grass ash is also the thing left after the plant is burned, which is what we say "ashes". This kind of "thing" is a good baby for raising flowers.

To give you a simple example, burned plant ash, in the countryside most of the will be piled up, until enough to save a certain amount, the farmer uncle will be sprinkled in the farmland, before the crop planting is sure to remove insects, there are a lot of pest eggs in the farmland, plant ash can kill the eggs, reduce the damage of pests to crops, in addition to the burned plant ash is a natural potassium fertilizer, can also be used to raise our home flowers, the effect on plant flowering is also very large.

Sterilization and insect repellent:

The first major benefit of plant ash is that it can kill insects, as mentioned earlier, when changing pots for flowers and plants at home, sprinkle some plant ash evenly in the soil of raising flowers, which has a certain effect on the elimination of insect eggs in the soil, and the amount does not need too much, about 10-20 grams, according to the measurement of the soil, it can not be used more, which is easy to lead to the phenomenon of soil sticking together and compaction.

Promotes rooting and germination:

In the spring, or autumn, when we "sow" the planting, or when we plant vegetables on the balcony, the seeds are sown, covered with soil, and then sprinkled with a layer of plant ash on the surface of the soil, which can play the role of moisturizing and heat preservation, and can make the planting of the soil layer germinate faster.

Repair the root system:

When raising flowers at home, it is inevitable that there will be the problem of rotten roots, take out the root system of the plant, prune it with scissors, and sprinkle plant ash on the pruned root system, which has the effect of sterilization, and can make the wound heal better and faster.

Potassium supplementation to promote flowering:

Grass ash is the ash left over after the plant is burned, it is a natural potassium fertilizer, the fertilizer that plants are most easily absorbed, and the effect of fermentation fertilizer is much better than the fermentation fertilizer we use, and the effect of chemical fertilizer is much better, the plant ash is packed into a water bottle, filled with water, and precipitated overnight, and the water in the bottle is used to water the flowering plants at home, especially like the triangular plum, the moon flower is more applicable. Potassium fertilizer is added to the plants by watering, and it can also promote the flowering of the plants.

Grass ash can be used to kill insects and insects, and adding plant ash to your own plants as a paving material can effectively prevent pests from coming into contact with the soil.

After soaking the plant ash in water, it is used to spray on the leaf surface of the flower, which can be used as an insecticide to control various pests such as small black insects. Turtles are rich in nutrients, which can provide nutrients to the roots, help plants take root and sprout faster, and promote plant growth.

First of all, plant ash is a good fertilizer, in addition to containing potassium, calcium and other large elements, it also contains iron, magnesium and other trace elements, can enhance photosynthesis, make the plant grow robust, branches and leaves green, prevent leaf fall, promote flowers, fruits beautiful and gorgeous, and fertilizer effect is fast. The potassium ions in plant ash can also effectively reduce the intensity of transpiration water in plant leaves, and enhance the ability of plants to resist drought and high temperature. Generally, our family flower raising will encounter a more stubborn problem, that is, the small black fly, or carried in the soil, or due to the dark and damp maintenance environment, which makes many flower farmers very troubled.

At this time, plant ash comes in handy, sprinkling a layer on the surface of the soil or using plant ash leaching solution to water in the soil can occur in small black flying. Grass ash also has the effect of sterilization, the more common problem in the family flower is due to too much watering caused by rotten roots, at this time we need to pour the pot to clean up the rotten root system, and then you can apply plant ash on the wound, which can not only accelerate wound healing, but also disinfect and sterilize.

Grass ash contains potassium, which can be used as potassium fertilizer for flowers and plants. Moreover, the plant ash is alkaline, which has a killing effect on pests in horticulture and can be used as an insecticide. Grass ash itself contains a cleaning effect. Can be used to clean unused pots.

Grass ash can be used in pomegranates, cacti, hibiscus, oleanders and other acid-loving plants, which can be used as soil fertilizer. The potassium content in plant ash is high, which is a better fast-acting potassium fertilizer, which can promote plant growth, enhance disease resistance, make plants strong and strong, and can be used as base fertilizer and wound application.

Grass ash is the ash of plants after they have been fully burned, which contains more trace elements and minerals needed for plant growth, which can promote the growth of plants. Many people don't know which flowers can be used with plant ash, plant ash has weak alkaline properties, and plants that like alkaline can be applied plant ash, such as pomegranate, cactus, hibiscus, oleander, etc.

The potassium content in plant ash is high, and most of them are soluble in water, which is a better fast-acting potassium fertilizer, so plant ash can be applied to potassium-loving crops, such as potatoes, grapes, sunflowers, etc., which can promote plant growth, enhance disease resistance, and make plants strong and strong.

1. Soil application

When applying plant ash to the soil, it can be mixed with the soil and used as a base fertilizer, and the dosage should not be too large to prevent the fertility from being too strong and injuring the roots. It can also be used as a mulch before raising seedlings, and the preservation effect of seeds is better, which can increase the germination rate.

2. Plant smearing

Grass ash has the effect of sterilization and disinfection, which can kill pests and bacteria to a certain extent, if the plant has a wound, the plant ash can be sprinkled on the wound, which can prevent infection and promote wound healing. If the plant has rotten roots, the rotten roots can be cut off and the incision coated with plant ash, which can effectively alleviate the rotten roots and promote the regeneration of new roots.

Grass ash is the ash left over from the burning of some herbaceous plants, the potassium content in it is very high, but it is alkaline, for some plants that like an acidic environment, plant ash can not be used, because it will cause alkali in the loam, resulting in weak plant growth, growth problems, such as camellias, azaleas must be avoided, even if they are added, they should pay attention to the good content. It is suitable for plants that do not like acid, such as pear, acacia, paulownia, oleander, forsythia, arborvitae, torch tree, wisteria, spring, lilac, oriental cypress, torch tree, etc., and some can be added when mixing soil.

1. Improve soil quality: In some areas of our country, the degree of soil bias is very serious, and the soil quality can be improved by adding plant ash, so that the plants can grow better.

2. Increase nutrient index: The potassium content in plant ash is very high, which can be supplemented to the plant, promote its growth and improve its ability to thrive.

3. Resistance to pests and diseases: It has the effect of disinfection and sterilization, which can kill the bacteria inside, reduce the possibility of pests and diseases, and can also have a certain effect of destroying the world.

Tools Ingredients: plant ash, potted plants.

1. After sowing flowers and plants, cover 1-2 cm with plant ash, which can effectively increase the temperature of the soil, keep the soil loose, promote the germination of seeds 7-10 days in advance, and the growth of flowers and plants is strong and neat.

2. In the process of transplanting flowers and trees, use plant ash and organic fertilizer to fully mix as base fertilizer, or mix 5-20% plant ash when preparing nutrient soil, which can increase the absorption of fertilizer.

3. Spraying 8-15% of plant ash leaching solution in the growing season of flowers and trees, as top dressing outside the roots, can improve the photosynthesis of leaves, prolong the growth period of leaves, promote the beauty of flowers and leaves, and improve the ornamental effect.

4. Spraying 3-5% of the plant ash leaching solution can also prevent and control aphids, red spiders and other pests.

5. Transplanting flowers and trees in arid places and continuously spraying 3-5% of the plant ash leaching solution can improve the drought resistance of flowers and trees. Because the plant ash has a very good function of locking water, the residual plant ash after high temperature combustion will fully absorb the water after encountering water. Spreading grass water on the surface of the pot can play a role in locking in water and reducing the evaporation of water in the potting soil.

6. Grass ash also has the effect of sterilization, if there is a wound on the plant, we can apply the plant ash to the wound, which can promote wound healing. For flowers and trees that are prone to wounds, apply fresh plant ash to the wounds caused by pruning or repotting, which can control the wound flow, prevent wound infection and rot, and promote healing.
