EVery now and than my Mltor
comes up with a good Idea. Most
of the time he jast iie<‘dles me.
Now he wants to know why I nev
er mention wood ashes in my
column as a fertilizor and soil
conditianer. The power of suggJSi-
tlon may be hLs own naive meth
od of getiting Ills quwUons an-
swt'rod.
Come to tliink of it, though, his
Idea may be a good on'e because
I had to do a .mite of reseatch,
all of whiuh was confusing, as
tlie analys<.‘s vary so mucli. So
this will be mastlv about about.
Wood ashes contain about 45‘.i
calcium carbonate (a form of
lime), about .'5-10'. potiLsh and a
bout 2'/fi phuspliorous. You can
mHi that they do have some fer-
tiliz(‘r value because two of the
major plant fotxl eloment.s (P&K)
are present; only nitrogen (Ni Ls
absent. This element can be easi
ly supplitHl as a side dressing.
The kind of wood used in tiie fire
place, whether hard or -soft, will
also affecl the analysts. '
In addition to the ijotasli, phos-:
phorous and lime, there are also-
present some of the minor or
c.'-ace ehwnents such as iron, man- i
gane.se and olhere.
Wood a.shes should be coUerded
and storrnl in a dry place until!
ready for use. If they are piled’
outside and exposed to the weath
er they will lose much of their
nutrient •v-’alue duo to Jeaehing by'
rainwater. If you do not have I

Rev. Charles Easley, pastor of

will deliver the m«!ssag<? at the
annual Christma.s Eve Candle

p.m. at Re/arreCtlbn Lutheran
church.
The program will be a musk-al

sufficient volume to save for soil
application, they .should be spread
over tile iomis*t pile, us collect
ed.
We should consider wood aslusi
as (1 supplement to rather than
a substitute for the regular fer
tilizer program. This waste from
I lie burning process is esjieclaliy
good for the root and bulb crops,
fruit trees and grapevines. It may
als<j bo used in the armual and
perennial flower beds. I would go
easy on azaleas, camellias, rho
dodendrons and blueberries be-
caus«t of the relatively higli cal
cium content, wliich may raise
ttie soil pH too high. These plants
like an acid soil leacrtion.
H.>w much to use*? About one
gocxl shovelful per square yard of
soil area. Mix well wUh the .soil
or work in as you would fcT+iliz-
er.
If you want to do a little expcTi-
menting try this in your vegeta
ble garden or flower bed. Use
only wofxi ashes and top or side
dress with nitrate of soda accord
ing to the nc^ds of the plants you
select
