tomatoes and woodash
« on: June 21, 2014, 07:22 »
just pot a good layer of woodash around my tubs on toms and fuchsia which I covered with rotted down wood shavings. Shall i leave off the liquid feed now so I don't over do it?

Maybe just a dilute general liquid feed to boost nitrogen levels?
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Some nettle tea perhaps?

Looking at what the RHS have to say about woodash, they don't seem to think its a "good idea" to put woodash on the soil at this time of year.

As you have, I would not put any additional fertiliser unless the plants look a bit weak. I would watch out for magnesium deficiency because that seems to be caused mainly by high potassium levels which the plants take up in preference to magnesium.
