What are the potential benefits of using wood ash? Wood ash contains nutrients that can be beneficial for plant growth. Calcium is the plant nutrient most commonly found in wood ash and may comprise 20% or more of its content. Potassium (also called potash) is another common component of wood ash, occurring at concentrations of up to 5%. Magnesium, phosphorus and sulfur are also typically found in wood ash at concentrations of up to 2%. Finally, wood ash can contain trace amounts of iron, aluminum, manganese, zinc, boron and other nutrients needed by plants. In addition to its nutrient content, wood ash can help in neutralizing soil acidity. When wood is burned, high amounts of carbonates are produced. Carbonates react with and neutralize acid in the soil, causing the soil pH to increase. The levels of carbonates present in wood ash (and thus its acid-neutralizing properties) will vary depending on the type of wood burned and how the wood was burned. In general, wood ash has about 50% less acid-neutralizing capacity than commercially available acid neutralizers such as pelletized lime or aglime. Approximately four cups of wood ash can be substituted for one pound of aglime. Comment your feedback in the comments section below or drop a message on WhatsApp number mentioned in my bio info.
