sulphate of potash?
« on: February 02, 2009, 11:06 »
read recently that fruit tree's and bushes should be given a feed of sulphate of potash about this time of year, i do try to be organic (although i do use slug pellets) and was wondering if there is an alternative to this?

have tried google but haven't found anything yet

Comfrey is a good source of organic potash.
I would be tempted to leaf it till mid spring tho. The fruits trees will be dormant at the moment and so wont need feeding.

i just found the rock potash and my first thought was about the price.

rhs suggest feeding at the end of feb, so comfrey is out. wouldn't usually bother but they are new plants so thought i better.

Although there sin't much around now I understand bonfire ash (not coal ash) is a good source of potash.
