Coffee grounds are another good thing to acidify the garden. Coffee grounds give nitrogen and magnesium, wood ash gives potassium and calcium. pH’s balance out. A match made in heaven 😃
Great idea. I bet letting the grounds dry, and mixing them with as, is a great pH adjuster. That is a video worthy solution.

My city is still on the fire ban. When I saw you have a BUCKET OF WOOD ASH, I feel so jealous😭 when there is no fire ban, my neighborhood is still very unfriendly about burning wood and leaves. I saw a lot of posts about asking people stop burning leaves. Is there anyway to burn it with less smoke?
Higher heat produces less smoke.

So that's what potash was in the fertilizer ingredients list... Pot (Potassium) + ash = potash. My brain read it as po-tash and was wondering what that was.. Thank you, Gary!
Potassium from wood ash. Yep.

Yeah finally someone not afraid to do something! Most videos are “don’t use “ or “be careful “.
Thanks for the common sense.
It works well and you can always toss some peat moss on it if you are worried about pH change. Thanks.

Been following your channel for several years now but never comment. Thx for the great content. Best regards from San Jose. Have you tried adding vinegar to balance out the ph with a liquid fertilizer method?
I have actually. Not much but some vinegar and water will do the trick. I havent done a video on it as I just don't do it regularly and would want to understand more about it. But in theory it makes solid sense. And thanks for following.

We get quite a few leaves in fall, and I like to just rake them over the garden and burn them. Some don't completely burn and that's even better. This is in a rural area of course.
That is a cool idea

Thanks Gary. What about charcoal from my BBQ grill? I have heard mixed opinions on this. I have 2 raised beds as I live in an apartment building (I have a nice sized roof balcony though) and I cannot be burning firewood. Thanks for your thoughts!
I would not use charcoal unless it is pure wood. Many have startering fluids too.

Lump charcoal ash burned without accelerant (lighter fluid) should be nearly identical to wood ash.

It's also good for the dust bath for chickens combined with diatomaceous earth. Helps control fleas lice etc on your chickens.
I'm in zone 8b..nearly year round gardening. Do you think I can use potash then top it with peat as a mulch and neutralizer? I'm thinking of putting this in my winter beds..
Yep. You can add it in slowly and water it in well too over time.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN thank you!! I grew up in Harford County, MD so I double love listening to your videos!
Oh and to clarify...I'm growing food in those beds now.
I can use it to put in my chicken pen for them to have dust baths, but I won’t put it in my garden because my soil is already way too alkaline. I need to use something like peat moss to acidly it instead. I think wood ash might also be good for slugs and other bugs in more acid soil.
When dry it deters slugs.

One gardener said to be careful of the salt in the wood ash. Do you have more info on salt concern?
Well I dont think he or she means salt as in table salt. If so that's no worry. Chemical SALTs are a form of combined elements. Maybe they are referring to one of them but bottom line is to use it in a limited way and if so, no worries.

I have an approximate 4ft high by 8ft round pile of dirt that my grandfather burned leaves and sticks and scrap wood for over 50 years. I tested that soil using the soil, distilled water and baking soda. Had a fizz. Not a volcano fizz but a prominent fizz. The soil is dark and looks rich. Can this be used in garden beds, containers, buckets in some way?
It might have a lower pH which of course you know is more acidic (the fizz). You can always add garden lime and that helps bring it up. So you could use it in theory.

I have an old fire pit that has a mix of natural compost ( old materials that naturally broke down into rich soil) and new ash from burning... I wasn't sure how to use it bc I was worried about pH. I have to dig it out and will likely get at least a 5g bucket. I was thinking maybe this particular compost would be nice for cucumbers?
It will be high in pH if its had a lot of wood. I would sprinkle it around similar to what you saw me do but mine is just ash, so you can leave more behind.

Can you use the ash you get from burning leaves as fertilizer instead of that from wood? Do they have the same effect?
Thanks for the great information. We heat with wood and I use the ashes in my compost pile and in my gardens. I’ve wondered about the effect on my vegetable garden but you have clarified that for me 👍. I use ashes on in my perennial gardens and I believe some plants benefit from wood ash...possibly lavender and lilacs? Another way I use it is to circle around plants that slugs chew on because I don’t think they like crawling over the ashes.
It does deter slugs when dry for sure

Just a thought, but wouldn't coffee grounds be better than peat moss to balance the acidity since it has nitrogen?
Coffee grounds are fully composted. They will be a good source of nitrogen. Mixed in the soil they can cause issues will they decay. On the surface of the soil they are okay.

In a place where you can plant year round how and when do you use wood ash?
So it could just go into compost. But really if you are putting down amounts like I showed you, not over doing it, anytime works. If you can let it go a couple weeks, that helps mitigate pH changes, if you had any concern.

does the wood ash need to be powder or can it be little chunks
Powder is the ash. Chunks are more charcoal but you can add them to the garden.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN do need to crush Chunks in ash to work
also, how is this different from biochar?
So it is not ash. Technically it is biomass like wood, heated and decomposed without oxygen. Think of packing a pot full of wood and flipping it upside down on a sheet of metal in a fire pit. Burn wood around it and it heats to high temps. The wood inside the pot becomes bio char. That is the no technically version. I imagine the end results to the plants over time, isnt much different.

Better use grams instead Pound
I use 1 gallon of ash to 5 gallons of rain water.
Sounds reasonable. I started mixing it with water in a paint bucket but didnt measure but by eye.

"Who knows what kind of wood...." this made me view the rest of the video with a lot of suspicion.
You dont need to worry if its from any tree. Any tree works. We tend to over complicate simple things in gardening
