Boost Soil Fertility With Wood Ash - Late Winter/Early Spring Application Exact Ratios - The PH Myth
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- This video will show you how to properly use Wood Ash in its powder form. Calcium is one of the primary components of wood ash and if you had Blossom End Rot in your Tomatoes last year that means you NEED MORE CALCIUM in your soil. Also, many people are concerned about wood ash affecting the PH of their soil and harming their plants but I will explain to you why the soil PH has little effect on the PH of the plant and the Rizosphere.

I've learned more from this guy in 6 months than I've ever learned from anyone. Thanks Nate..
thats very inspiring my friend thank you for saying that!
Same here.
Me too and it's only been like 3 weeks ❤
💪🏼⚡️⚡️💪🏼🧑🏿🌾🧑🏿🌾🧑🏿🌾
Very good information he teaches well
Thank you. I burn a lot of “clean“ wood pallets to heat my shop and attached greenhouse. I get a lot of nails in the ash. To sort these out, I pass the ash through a 1/4” hardware cloth, then put a couple of larger rare earth magnets in a plastic pill bottle and place this inside a tin can, which I then pass over the top of the ashes. The nails stick to the can, which I lift out and place over another container, then lift the magnets off the can bottom, and the nails fall into bucket. It’s amazing how many pounds of nails I get in a short while. Once a year I take all the scrap metal I accumulate to the metal recyclers. I don’t get a lot of money, but I do keep a lot of material out of the landfill and have it reused. Some would say this isn’t worth it… but… LITTLE THINGS MATTER… in all matters!
I'm so glad I run into this channel, very informative and interesting stuff here.
I have personal experience with wood ash and tomatoes. Probably 15-20 years ago I was helping my uncle plant tomatoes since he had some back issues. We dug deep and wide hole and he dumped some wood in and started fire. After everything burned he throw few thick pieces of wood to hold the moisture and put some soil back on it. Than we planted tomatoes and I must say it was insane harvest, much better than at all neighbouring gardens that just put some manure on soil.
great advice thank you for sharing!!!
Can you use ash if you have bio-char in your beds?
Off to the woods tomorrow to collect some sticks and make me some wood ash! Thank you, great video, as alwyas! 💪🏻
I just mixed my liquid wood ash last week. Now I gotta burn more wood. (Yay!) Thank you kind sir.
The value of the leaf mould truly shows through when your explaining the PH process of nature. If there isn’t any of those microbes for the plant to attract wether than be sterilized dirt or simply improper farming practice, than I can see how people got lead down the road of where they think it’s all about the “dirt”
exactly!!!... so happy to see you understand this!!
@@gardenlikeaviking Thank you for sharing Brother, truly groundbreaking work and service you are doing and providing! Blessings ✊
I added wood ash this winter and have been pulling lettuce and greens a lot in the past week. The lettuce has kept for so long in our fridge and just thought wow super fresh and healthy but this video reminded me just how much I added to the garden beds and it showed
I completely agree. Natural ways are the best. Thanks a lot for the valuable information.
People always wonder how my yields are so massive and produce looks so beautiful. I haven't ever used anything other than wood ash and diluted urine,Its really that simple. (Maybe a small top up of some fresh compost each year)
how much wood ash you use?
@@sug725 only 2/3 tablespoons a gallon
@@WingsOfDomesticViolence wow thanks man
@@sug725 sure thing
Thank you for speaking on PH and soil. I haven’t owned a ph pen ever. I grow only in soil and was taught natural farming techniques from my father and grandmother. Whe. Your soil is teaming with microbes 🦠 the will adjust ph for you
thats right my friend when the soil is alive they'll adjust it for you!!
Yes, it's so true! I noticed when I looked carefully at my old potted plants' soil, each species had created the type of soil ecosystem very similar to the one in nature. Sundew soil actually looks and smells like a bog. Pine bonsai soil smells and feels and looks like you are out in the forest. It's also true for aquariums. Aquariums smell like a lake.
При использовании анаэробного травяного настоя почва раскисляется, если мы используем золу для подкормки. Так как бактерии в настое делают среду кислой. По этому при использовании золы в будущем поливайте растения анаэробным травяным настоем.
Not believing in anything is a great way to start gardening in my opinion. I've been putting seeds in the ground, and using part of the plants to feed the soil. The rows are full of life, even though we are in like the 4th year of drought and I didn't even water the plants, I just noticed they get wet during the night so I didn't think more was necessary. I think a lot of people just make it harder for their own plants by doing lots of things to them. The water they are using on them is probably salty or something since it doesn't come from the air/sky.
About wood ash, I tried using it on one of two identical trees we bought and planted on almost dead dirt, because we have been accumulating that ash+char and it must go somewhere right? (not the dumpster) Both trees had horrible nursery roots, and they started showing signs of sickness. The one I applied the ash+char no longer has any signs of sickness whatsoever, the other one kept getting sicker and is almost dead. I know it's just one data point but it's pretty striking to see one green and flowering, and the other one barely has any green left to continue capturing sunlight. But maybe it was just a coincidence, like you explained in the electroculture video.
I didn't consider protecting the ash+char from the rain, but I will think about it now that you explained it. My thinking was more about just letting it get inoculated by nature (in a very lush spot) before applying it somewhere else. So maybe I lost minerals but gained some microlife.
We have a wood stove and save all the ash in a large metal trash can. It can be used for so many things!
Excellent information as always 🙏🌳
Thanks for clarifying. Use this ratio over mulched garden. I saw the app over the large area but did not notice the mulch over the other areas.
thats right we always keep the garden heavily mulched
Correct! Finally, Ive watched hundreds of Farming Ideas. But this is the first video that mathches of my thingking about Ashes. Im now in the trial and error on how to eliminate chemicals in Hydroponics. So faming will be much more easier and healthier to everyone. More power to you.
This lines up with all the old people in my life passed on to me.. more than anything I have ever come across so far! In addition to all the reasons!! So smart!! Thank you!! Definitely staying tuned and beginning to use of your wisdom and years of expertise experience. So great to find you!! Thank you!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Great information about wood ash. How can one use this in organic hydroponic nitrient solution?
45K subs Nate. Way to go. Congrats.
Is it good for carrots and peppers? It is wonderful for tomatoes, gives me bountiful harvest. Thank you my friend.
definitely both carrots and peppers appreciate the wood ash applied at time of planting and then about half way thru the season
Keep on with the good work Nate it is really changing our mentality
"Sweeten the soil" means to change the pH, I don't remember which way. I threw wood ash on my plant leaves to thwart pests. Random advice I had picked up in comments.
Thank you so very much for all the superb education!
Thanks for your gardening video.l am learning a lot about gardening.can l use paper ash on my plants.
yes so long as the paper did not have toxic chemicals on it then you can use it
Love your mindset bro…
Hahahaha you said something, I made a:
"No shit?" face and you said "I know" like you could see my face lol.
This is awesome, thank you!
Thanks Nate, guess I can comment but only on my work PC, go figure.
thank you for the support my friend!
My first winter with a wood stove, and I'm glad I saved all the ashes. Is it necessary to sift out the black chunks?
The black chunks are charcoal, which is very good for your soil.
no need to sift the chunks out those are good for the soil
You beat me to it. I had noticed how the ash in Nate's container was so clean. 👍
Activate the black chunks with soaking them in manure to make "biochar" which is good for the soil/micro organisms. I add mine to compost pile full of manure. The biochar was a component of the very productive terra preta soils
I'm going to tell my friend who has a wood stove about this.
Do you use Gypsum at all, or is Wood Ash the Replacement for Gypsum? I've heard there were more benefits to Gypsum besides Calcium, but maybe Wood Ash is better?
Thanks.
I'm also confused about your potatoes comment. You first said that you saw no difference in the Potatoes, just that they got harder... But then you said it's beneficial and they love it... So is there a benefit, or not really? If there is a benefit, what is it besides storage capability?
I noticed after mixing my wood ash.that it has grit going to the bottom.
Should I be straining it before using in the Watering Can?
Thanks
Sooo. The 3 x3 x3 foot pike ive been dumping my stove ash.. The soil UNDER it should be packed with nutrients?
I empty the 24"x12" ashbin every couple days, its 4 inches deep. So end of 3 winters is pretty big.. i was covering it, but it blew away at some point and i forgot about it.
So should i instead of a pile, just be spreafung it on the snow on the gardens? ..
And just move the pike to access the doil under it? If all the minrals wahed out, they should be inder it right! ?
What can this pike be used for? I dont want to just discard it if i can use it for more than ansorbing the oul tgat leaked from my trick last winter.. i put ash ontop and it soaked it all up so you coudnt see the stains in spring.
a figurout sonic bloom do you
Does the additional potash show up nutritionally in the potatoes?
That would be a great question for a “nutritionist”
that is a great question and I do believe it is so... but I have no actual data to support that
I have good results of woodash with taro. It is bursting the corms out of the ground. I still have 2 months to harvest it.
I am using it on turmeric too. But it is 6 months away from harvesting, to report anything.
Does anyone have experience if it works well with roses?
Zone 9b, India
I dont wanna be "that" guy, but will carrots take it, u know u said everything likes? Thank you very much👍
carrots and all root crops will appreciate wood ash certainly!
@@gardenlikeaviking much appreciated
Solid or liquid type, it is beneficial if applied to fruit bearing trees as well like mangoes and bananas?
Would wood pellet ash be ok to use? Same ratios?
yes!
👍👍👍👍👍
Bro, I can't get over how amazing you are at explaining things, it baffles me how fluently words flow from that sexy beard covered mouth of yours lmao
I'm so happy you see the beard appeal thank you my friend!!
@@gardenlikeaviking It's absolutely killer, dude lol
🙏
Question, can you put too much calcium on the garden in the late winter/early spring( N.E. Iowa) March? We put our wood ash all winter long on the garden from our wood burning heat stove about 2 cord of wood ash on 5000sqft garden. I did not know there was calcium in the wood ash. So, I was about to shake out about 10 pounds of egg shells that have been accumulating since last fall. Would the egg shell calcium plus the wood ash calcium be too much?
well yes it is possible to add too much wood ash to the garden but it would have to be a lot... so how many 5 gallon buckets worth of wood ash would you say you added to the 5000sq ft?
@@gardenlikeaviking 5 to 7 I think would be a honest estimate. probably closer to 5 five gallon buckets, obviously we were taking it out, sometime very hot, in a classic metal hash bucket. I am still holding onto the egg shells for now.
@@robertstwalley3662 ok with 5 to 7 or even 10 of the 5 gallon buckets of wood ash you will have no problems at all and in fact it will be very good for the soil... for 5k sq ft I wouldn't do more than 10... and don't worry about the eggshells they actually take many years to fully break down and become available to the plants... its a common myth that they add calcium to the soil in any meaningful time frame...
@@gardenlikeaviking One more if you do not mind. I am considering shifting all my starter plants rows over half distance and not tilling this year. The garden is covered with heavy mulch of grass clippings and leaves. Just thinking that I would scratch a hole and plant my peppers, tomatoes and such instead of tilling all that much into the dirt. Leaving it untilled would be better right?
Can I turn tree bark into wood ash?
yes its great
@@gardenlikeaviking thanks 👍
Have you ever tried utilizing Volcanic Ash in your garden?
I use it all the time in the form of Azomite yes
Great videos! I'm glad I found your channel. You can never quit learning gardening techniques. I grew a few hay bale gardens a few years back that done great then saved all of the spent hay and built up raised bed gardens that like you, I built on the cheap with wooden stakes that I outlined with baler's twine that allowed me to make a shroud using landscapers cloth for a sort of make shift raised bed for pennies on the dollar compared to if I had I went out and purchased wood or blocks for the project. Last year I sat down and watched a load of RUclips videos and I decided to make my own wood ash from dead branches and other debris off of the property and it worked out quite well. In another video you mentioned using lawn clippings and other organic matter like old leaves etc and last year I grew my tomatoes and bell peppers and green beans with the natural compose made from what I raked from the woods and my bell peppers produced loads of peppers and the tomatoes and green beans produced enough for me to can quite a bit even off of just a few plants. This year I took all of my corn stalks, okra stalks and pretty much everything left over from last year's garden and I mulched it for this years garden that I will mix back into my soil. It's nice to not be worried about purchasing fertilizer with this method. I plan on trying your potato growing suggestions out this year and I may use cardboard boxes with some twine around them to support the boxes from falling totally apart in place of the plastic bags. On your videos you always tell people they need to start growing gardens and in these times you are spot on! One more thing, I have always had luck growing cantaloupe and after a few growing seasons of giving fresh stuff to my neighbors I now have a handful of neighbors who are doing their own gardens and now giving me stuff. Sorry to have written a book here but you're correct that people need to rediscover their roots and learn how to grow their own food.
I watched a video 1year ago that this family in Russia was planting potatoes. They were spreading wood ash all in the rows as they were planting potatoes. We have been lied to about everything here in the US.
Keep dispelling myths my friend. Abundance is free
Excellent video! We use wood ash directly in our garden beds, in our compost pile, and also sprinkled in the chicken’s litter. The litter in the chicken coop gets periodically added to our compost system. I also am not concerned with changes in ph, and think nature will find the balance.
Here is a tip: wood ash is a great snow/ice melt that is all natural and will keep salt and/or unwanted chemicals off of your property. It helps to give traction on possibly slippery snow and ice. Be well.
Another fantastic & highly educational video from The Viking 🌱💥
Thank you for explaining this in a way that is less complicated. The natural process before all these tests. Like our ancestors did. Makes more sense
When people are using JADAM protocols, they often forget that most of the JLF used is often more on the acidic side, particularly if the JLF is high in nitrogen/proteins, which has a lower pH.
The combination of high nitrogen JLF and wood ash will tend to balance itself out chemically. This likely explains how the combination of urine and wood ash is extremely effective (comparable to miracle grow) and doesn't tend to effect affect soil pH very much, unless excessively applied.
Being “Ashy” never felt so good before 😄. Thank you for the knowledge 🙏
WhoooOk my friends this the third time I look up how to make something and my guy pops up literally 🙏🏾
It is amazing how God created all the systems that allow gardening to be easy. Jesus said, "My yoke is easy, and my burden is light." And, boy of boy is that true!
True you
I just planted my ph meter, in the trash.
Master class as usual. We want to move next to you. 😂 thanks mate.
Thank you for the metric measurements, really appreciate it. I've already applied my wood ash all over my winter leaf soil cover. My garlic look very happy, even through the snow. Subscribed!
Underated and underviewed video. Since i discovered this guy and use the fermenting liquid fertilizer, my plants are sooo happy while they were sick and yellowing even if i used organic soil with organic fertilizer (Gaias Green) those fertilizer are not ready available to plant.. it need microbe for it and my soil was Low on microbe before creating a swamp-fermentation liquid fertilizer.
I'm not scared of anaerobic anymore. Just keep in mind that to be carefull. anaerobic will make you sick as a human, but plants have no impact.
About pathogen in soil and bad microbe.. i think when that's happen there is only an unbalanced microbe organism. too much of bad and not enough of good. By adding more good, the bad stuff will goes out. So i think bad fungus like Fusarium or Septoria can be reduced when adding beneficial micro organism.
The problem with wood ash is gardeners often think a little is good therefore a l ot is best and they kill everything. If they put to much wood ash on to create a skin on the soil when it dries. Say good bye to your little friends. Way too much and ruin the garden all gather! Plants require oxygen and too much wood ash shallow roots and starve for o2.
Are you talking about a cup or a quart dumped on each plant and not watered in? Ive heard the same elsewhere. I'll wait for Nate to explain it thoroughly. Repetition for my memory is greatly appreciated.
@@smas3256 notice he added wood ash to bed that had a heavy mulch. He was not adding the wood ash directly to the soil. It makes a difference and I wish he would have explained this.
yes that is why I gave that exact ratio in the video for people to use they'll have no problems at all... also with this style of gardening there is never exposed bare soil so its a non issue because we always have mulch over the soil...
@@gardenlikeaviking I'll catch up on the details or just repeat what I know.
Living soil is much different than Big AG. BIG AG expects a GMO Seed to tolerate dead soil.
You are 100 percent right. When I found organics I threw all my ph crap away. Happy microbes happy roots happy fruits. The microbes adjust the ph on thier own
Thanks Nate. Trying to implement your fertilizer recipes this year. My third JADAM brew is bubbling up and I'm looking forward to using the others, especially on new beds being established now. Will need to hit my neighbors up for some wood ash, but have been making small batches of biochar and charging it with microbial solution. I know it gets a little complicated, but biochar is a good topic! Not that you need ideas. Thanks for this break from "schedule C."
fantastic my friend!... yes I'm all about the biochar and inoculating it with the JMS and the fish fertilizer and any number of the JLFs for a huge diversity of IMO's
@@gardenlikeaviking Can I inoculate biochar with all the home brew things you’ve mentioned in all your videos at once? I have really poor soil it’s all clay I need all the help I can get , thanks for your hard work and wisdom.
@@jamesdodson9417 thats right you can add basically all of them but definitely the fish, urine and JMS are the most foundational
In your opinion How would all this natural fertilizers work in hydroponics?

This is my 2nd video of watching ya, and I have a feeling I will be dedicated fan!
If your abilities were for race driving instead, you'd be in the lead of the Indianapolis 500.
When growing up in North Eastern Ohio, we always saved and redistributed fireplace and campfire ash amongst the garden, around pines and shrubs. We would mix ash with water, compost and cow manure. It's the best! We had well seasoned compost bins.
I really like your idea my friend and also thank you for sharing this very informative knowldge 😊, im watching here from the Philippines 🎉🎉
Hi Nate, Thank you for making these great videos! Do you think it is wise to use the ash of your citrus trees stems as a fertilizer for citrus trees and veggies? I just pruned my citrus trees and am wondering about this.
I threw wood ash all over everything growing in my clay soil, and it seemed fine, but then I saw videos or articles saying - don't put it on potatoes, don't use it on clay soil, I think also don't put it on tomatoes and peppers. So, I have not watched your video, just skimmed to see what you are doing, you may be correct! I would like you to be correct, because I have a good amount of wood to burn.
What about the cadmium in wood ash? I am finding conflicting information online, scientists saying wood ash should definitely not be used in gardening because of the levels of cadmium and other heavy metals, but also science reports saying it takes very high levels of cadmium for it to get into plants... What to do? 😕
Back to basics! love this stuff. I’ve learned so much
Thanks for using European Measurements. Greetings for Germany
Would you please research the danger of SALT in wood ash building up in garden soil?
I thought potassium..hence potassium hydroxide..is the most dense in wood ash? I should know this
I have been utilizing your ideas and methods and my garden thanks you!
Good day Nate, please how is the level of availability of Calcium to plants.
Essentially to know if the calcium in wood ash dissolves in water.
You think I could fertilize wheat crop with my sprayer?
So i wanted to comment before watching to stamp the thought. I watched another gardiner who warns that this will make soil more alkaline so to use it knowing it will change the pH
I have used wood ash for years use it sparingly around tomatoes can cause problems leaves will turn rubbery and deformed
F the wood ash what fertilizer I can use to grow a beard like YOU SIR
Would this help with lawn grass health? After all, grass is a plant.
What about the lye ? Do we not leach the lye first then all you have left is calcium right ? Isnt lye a herbicide
Does anyone remember the bumper crops after St.Helens blew her top?
How can l make organic fertilizers to sell make it from home with Npk.
Thanks for making this video !
Good info! I like to use wood ash on a couple crops like pease, etc. and I have used it on tomato’s before even tho the common info says not to-and they did really well lol. I am excited to use it more abundantly, as I will have more of it it on hand this year !😊
So, here's one for ya Nate! I have pine ash from burning my wood stove and from burn piles, which have been snowed on, but not rained on, so I'm hoping the burn pile ash still has some potency. I THEN have a large burn pile of former mini donka poop........don't worry I still have plenty of fresh mini donka poop but the old pile was LARGE and I had to do something with it. Had I known about biochar before burning, I would have snuffed out my burn piles (wood/poop) earlier instead of letting it burn all the way to ash. Which do you think will have the best nutrients? I'm betting the burnt donka poop ash. I guess it doesn't matter because I'm using all three to fertilize with. If you can't answer, no worries, I'm just posting for the algorithm :D
So, wood ash should be a geat addition to the compost pile, right?
i wish you would make a video on growing blueberries
I love you my man for this video
Gracias.
Yes sir!!! Another great video from my Nordic Naturalist Brother…. How much time needs to be between applying and planting?! Shalom from the Texas Drylands
Nordic Naturalist I like that lol... its very water soluble so if you apply it then it gets rained on a few times then its good to go... I like to put at least a couple weeks in between application and planting
I just bought a few blueberry plants, I know Nate doesn't have much experience with them, anyone else here have success and suggestions specifically regarding the KNF method for blueberries? Thanks and blessings!
I’m an organic farmer and you’re telling the truth about farming. “Let the ecosystem do it’s work” ❤
Gosh Nate, Love it. We are thinking to plant 5 cannabis for fertilization, would wood ash help it? As usual master class
yes absolutely it'll help if you use in these amounts prior to planting
Hey friend! Thanks for informing me so clearly about the virtues of wood ash. Coming into winter I’m going to store that ‘left over’ from our fire for the good time gardening. I’m loving your clarity of information. 🙏
❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing bror! ✨🙏💖😁✨
Hi there!
Can you use wood ash for citrus trees🌻🤗🌻
yes they love it
Can I use burnt branches and sticks from lawn care? Have a pile of rambling rose stalks to burn up. Def don’t want thorns in my compost pile.
Depends on your intention.
Stem and branch wood will tend to be bigger in calcium and potassium, whereas leaves will will have higher quantities of other micronutrients (remember: trees drop leaves to self-fertilize as they hold most, if not all of the essential nutrients that the tree has mined via the roots).
I personally prefer to use leaf ash when I can as this was a traditional native practice that was extremely effective. I save my woody material for making charcoal that is eventually converted into biochar.
Which is better the liquid or the solid? I made the liquid ash fertilizer when you made the other video.
use both... the powder is to be applied once a year about now... the liquid can be applied all thru the season
