.... uses potash on my beds?
Every now again again I tend to burn things that have been pulled out of the ground, you know the sort of things, weeds/soil, plant roots, plant leaves, generally anything green, as well as old bits of timber/pallets. twigs etc.
I end up with a fire that burns for days and every now and again I draw this up from the edges and recover it, the end result (after it has cooled of course) is a nice pile of orange potash.
One of my neighbours popped in the other day and didnt understand why I was doing it, but as I told him, as a lad, my dad used to do it on his allotment and my brothers have always done it on their plots as they told me it is a way of adding potassium into the soil.
Does anyone else do this too or am I the only one?
