Africa and natural fertilizers,,

[Guest guest]

Hey guys,,

I was wondering ?

In the Africa hunt some of the farmers use pot ash as an extra fertilizer,,

I can see the sence in that as i'ts effectivley a free resource,,

It still happens in allotment gardens worldwide for that reason,,

Do they hand scatter the pot ash on the surface soil or dig it in !

( there are some big fields there so I presumed they would scatter )

What kind of ratios would they scatter it in ?

( how much ash per square meter or plant )

What differences did you observe in fields that had been treated with pot ash ?

StayStoked,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hi man i live in Africa myself. Growers with large fields usually scatter the ash with big fields. I personally use charcoal ash with my plants, though i do not realy know how to apply in ratios. I would usually use about 5 hand fulls of fine ash per 10 gal containers. My tech is when you are preparing your soil to transplant plants ready for veg, just mix the ash in the soil and make sure it is all broken down an mixed into the soil.
