Ok have read a little bit on this but havent been able to find much.
We have a backyard fire pit and I was wondering if I could collect some of the fine ash and mix that in with some water to water it into the soil and supplement K?
I have read that it is very fast acting but also alkaline and raises pH quite a bit but if I use it in small amounts say a teaspoon per gallon of water (I have a pH meter to check the pH after I do so and see what it comes out at) would this be a viable way of increasing my available K for the plants?
I have several organic nutrients and none of them supplys more than 1 K which if the ash is a good way of supplementing a bit of K that woudl be great.
I have Jamaican guano 1-10-1 and my trio of Neptunes Harvest products have ratios of 0-0-1, 2-3-1, and 2-4-1. I would like to have a little more K for the ladies for flowering.
I know I can add greensand to my mix in the future for more K.
What do you guys think?
