*****RESULTS OF THE POTATO EXPERIEMENT*****.... the potatoes that received large amounts of ash fertilizer displayed ZERO ISSUES whatsoever!... in fact they were a bit harder and with higher yields than the potatoes that did not receive it... for me the issue is settled = Using ash to fertilize potatoes is very beneficial.
I agree, 1 like
have been using 1 handfull off ash pr/m2 mtr once 1 a years with excellent result, during rotation in my garden, this only happend every 4th year - so no poisening.
Potash improve development of ruth and entlagement of the bulbs also - lesser desiece in plants and earlier harvest.
Great tip - recommend it.
Add urine. Not joking.
Why not just sprinkle the ash in the trench you’re planting in ?
I was hoping to find a video on the results, but I still appreciate a pinned comment. Thank you 😊
I've been using Potato's ,it's fire full
After watching this video again, I made the liquid ash ferilizer and put it on my collards, kale, turnips and cabbage. Within 24 hours, they were
all noticeably greener. Very pleased.
How did they turn out?
Great, straight-forward presentation! Thanks for not putting music in the background, and not trying some flashy logo-video thing. So refreshing.
Yes. I hate stupid music in the background.
I concur!!! 👍👍
Totally agree. Some people try to outdo hollywood with graphics. Keep it simple sir.
Just nodding in agreement here… unless it’s David The Good Music
I know that's right. 🙏
My great aunt who moved to California many years ago, bought a property with a ocean view in the early 60's that had been burned over. She only put a wooden fence around the property, and held onto it until Sping, then sold it for 1.5 million dollars. She had bought it for next to nothing, because it looked so desolate, and ugly, but in the Sping it was lush and green again.
Hi. I am a farmer and I live on the other side of the globe and soils here often have pH values above 8. It is like a continuing struggle to keep the soil fertile. Years ago I also used wood ash, a boat load of it and that piece of land is right now significantly the most fertile of all. However my method differed and I used sulfuric acid when mixing potash in water. It made the mixture sizzle for a bit. I also used humic acid, compost, urine, bone and blood meals from a nearby slaughterhouse. Not only I had to use exactly zero amounts of chemical commercial fertilizers I also grew lush vegetables and had abundant harvests. Recently I have started to use chicken and dairy manures again as I see the soil losing fertility. I also learnt about AEC which is similar to CEC (anion and cation exchange capacity of a soil). AEC is never talked about for monetization reasons probably. Clay or other soil particles alone do not have enough capacity to hold on to all the positively and negatively charged ions of minerals. It is imperative to have a lot of organic matter in the soil so that the ions and any sort of fertilizer you add to your soil can "stick" inside of it instead of getting washed down with water. Just wanted to share my experience.
thank you for sharing your experience my friend I appreciate hearing this
Hi Mooney. It sounds like you need a channel! I want to learn frim you too
Are you on Athos? :D
@@nannimanfrin8420 No sorry.
Please, for a clueless non native speaker: what is AEC the abbreviation for? TIA! & Greetings from Bavaria
Thank you bro, the all natural organics, is the way of the world. BUT the world is stupid and greedy. May you and your family be blessed.
I threw a handful of ash from my bbq grill directly into the bag at planting, and my potatoes did great.
I have a wild raspberry plant growing next to my porch that I did not know about until I threw some ash on that location in the winter and now I got to enjoy eating some raspberries a few days ago.
i'm binge watching your videos, i like the style of your delivery; i never zone out and click, good stuff. i know alot of the things you discuss, but i hardly ever know why; thanks for that, my pure bred Swede wife and i are both learning a lot. you have fans in Cheboygan, MI.
I'm happy you are here my friend!!... now is a great time to watch all the videos and absorb as much of the information as you can so this upcoming season you can put it all into practice!!
@@gardenlikeavikingCan I use BBQ ash ? Thanks.
When you live in a tropical country and learning a lot of gardening knowledge from a Viking-like guru. Thank you so much, you're such a great teacher! 😆👍
Thank you for making me realize that I need to stay here. 62 years old and I have no idea how to garden without wood ashes. You said "tropical" and suddenly I realized I know nothing about gardening without winter.
Best way is to sprinkle the ashes around the plants roots and lightly water it in. I've done this for years
Water has memory .....soaking it in water will be the better way.
@@houndjog What proportion and how long to soak?
@@lindmarcella Just a handful and overnight is enough!
@@houndjog Another myth. Water does NOT have 'memory'.
@paulmaxwell8851 sure it does, look up frozen water experiment (forgot the name of the study but searching that should bring it up)
If my calculations are correct, this comes to roughly one tablespoon of ash per gallon. This might make it easier if you just want to mix it in your watering jug as you go. I'm going to try this next year in my veggie garden... Thanks for the video!
I must beg to differ sir. My calculations show approx 3 tbsp/gal water
concentration (conc) has 1 gal ash/5 gal water = 20% ash
0.2*16 cup/gal. = 3.2 cups ash/gal conc. = 0.2 cup ash/cup of conc.
to make final mix, add 1 cup of conc to 1 gal water. This makes 1 + 16 = 17 cups mix. The amount of ash is still 0.2 cups. Thus, we have now 0.2 cups ash/17 cups water. Converting:
(0.2 cups ash/17 cups water) * (16 cups water/gal water) * (16 tbsp ash/cup ash) = 3.01176 tbsp of ash/gal water. Round off to 3 tbsp/gal water.
Interesting math problem. I agree a 1 gal mixture is easier to handle and does not tie up a 5 gal bucket for months.
@@donberry6079 I'm glad you did all the hard math work already!!!! 😛 I'll be using 3 tbsp per gallon as well... along with 1 tsp of Sea-90 (sea elements).
@@genewilliams8712 You are welcome. Not really too hard for an engineer.
I am only familiär with metric. How much is 0.2 cups ash in gramms?
@ry6079 1 part ash to 5 parts water = 6 parts in total, making it 1/6 (16.6667%) ash, not 1/5 (20%).
He then goes on to say 1 cup per gallon (In his example it is 2.5 cups per 2.5 gallon), so in this case, the cups are included in the total (it only holds 2.5 gallons, not 2.5 gallons + 2.5 cups).
This means the resulting mixture is 1/16 concentrate (not 1/17).
So it's 16.6667% (by volume) in the concentrated mix and then diluted to 1/16 (6.25%) of that, to a total of 1.04% ash to water (by volume).
I don't normally work with imperial units, so I let Google do the last part. It claims there are 16 US tablespoons in a US gallon, meaning 1.04% of a gallon is 2.6624 tbsp.
I read that ashes and vinegar to neutalize them, then top up with water, makes acetate minerals which are among the most absorbable for for foliar feeding and foliar works 5-8 times better than fertilizer anyway so you can drench the crap out of them with a sprayer for even better effect.
I take our pot ash and put it in the compost pile so that gets in everything like that. Adding this potash to your garden is how you get tons of micronutrients that you need into your body
I add my wood ash in late winter and early spring. I do so to get some color on the deep snow to help it melt so soil can start to warm sooner in zone 3. I do know of its benefits as fertilizer as well. I also make charcoal and add to my chicken coop to absorb oders and fertility. Then after time it goes in the garden after a trip through the compost pile.
Bio char as composting tool 🤔
I’m 72 and I’ve just learned how to use wood ash in my garden.thank u!
I knew I could use wood ashes on the garden, but didn't know the proper ratios. Thanks a bunch.
I heard about a quart of Ash per square meter
Been gaining a lot of knowledge from this channel. Glad I subscribed.
Native Americans used to burn open areas to maintain grasslands in the fall in many parts of Montana before the Cattle and sheep ranchers came in and chased the natives away. This made the grasses grow stronger the next year and enticed elk, deer and bison to move into these hunting grounds. Native Americans where not vegetarians, and hadn't learned to raise grains and fence in land like the advanced white men had. If you want to raise a civilization of sheeple, just feed them mostly grains.
makes perfect sense!... thank you for your input!
thank you to mother earth but also the One that created all of this for us . . .
I came upon this video by chance. I am in Jamaica, as a child ashes as we called it then was used for everything. In the garden, anything planted in burnt soil usually flourished and yeild abundant results. Now, I grow orchids as a hobby, I want to know if this can be used on my orchids too. Thank you for a great video. Happy gardening. ❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Definitely interested in your potato test. I have heard the same thing and avoid using my ash in their areas. Of course I don’t use my wood ash directly on anything. I mix it in my compost piles because it’s fast and easy.
God is amazing, what a wonderful part of His creation. Thank you for sharing.
A lot of myths in the gardening community. I'm glad you cleared it up. I've been applying ash everywhere in my garden for the last month, and I've been seeing healthier plants all around. I think a lot of these gardeners just read a Wikipedia article
😅so inspiring and do encourage farmers carry out same experiment to replenish their soil.
@@luvuniazubairi1124 Our neighbor raises chickens for Tyson. When they clean out the houses, it gets put into a pile. Twice a year, that used bedding gets put out onto the hay fields. It smells a day or two and then nothing. They call that litter Black Gold around here. Neighbor grows the BEST hay. Been buying from him for 20 years.
He rotates his cows through in the fall.
I've watched him for years and he knows what he is doing when it comes to farming.
Ive always dumped my woodstove ashes right in my compost pile fir years. The plants live it.
I strongly agree Sir. Wood ash is also one of the best natural fertilizers.
🎉😢
With much ❤ and gratitude - thanks for being our teacher!
I’m transitioning to natural fertilizers and these videos are so helpful. Thank you!!
The more I watch the more I get addicted to your knowledge. Much appreciated!
We have a serious potato scab problem and are working hard to bring the pH down to 5.3, at which scab becomes inactive. It's taking us three years, using elemental sulfur. That's the one place I would never use wood ash water, as it does raise the pH of the soil. I've experimented with this. Higher pH is just fine for most of the garden. It also reduces clubroot problems in the brassicas.
Sweet potatoes thrive on potash ! Generally anything that needs potassium will love you for using it ! I sprinkle the ash in my sweet potatoes and they love it and have a much petter taste.
Wow!that voice and its clarity!thank God for giving you that Unique gift!
I have benefited from your teachings be blessed bro.
Thanks for the info.
For anyone who wants to put the ash directly into the water can, its 80:1 (water to ash)
- 1tsp of straight ash per 16oz of water
- 1/8th cup(2.5 Tbsps) per gallon
- 3/4 cup per 5 gallons
Cool! A little clarification about the mixture ratio, 1 gallon ash in a five gallon bucket would be 4:1.
wow! omg so interesting you are such a wealth of knowledge and are an incredible teacher ..you always say the “ why” THANK YOU!
Okay my friends ❤️
Very much appreciate your information that you present. But mother nature didn't design it father God did. He's amazing and designed the entire planet and solar system just to sustain humanity wonderfully. It's humanity that has messed it up I miss using it and polluting it. Thank you for bringing us back to basics and showing us natural methodologies we can implement in our home land.
Be sure to keep us updated on your potato experiment. I’m interested in hearing the results. Happy growing my friend. 🙏🏼
will do... so far there's no noticeable difference in the plants but we shall see come harvest time
Me too. I suspect the host is correct that it will be a benefit rather than a problem, but we shall see. I have several potato bags growing as well, so I'm going to start watering a couple of them with this recipe and see if there's a difference.
@@gardenlikeaviking .
That looks great. I wouldn't touch the mix with bare skin after its sat a while and if I did, I'd immediately rinse it off. You made lye water, and our ancestors used to do jist that to make soap. At a that ratio, it's probably not strong enough to burn you, but it might be irritating to people with sensitive skin. :)
thank you. have gathered 200 litres of ash so far this winter from my fireplace. will do the potato thing soon. wonderfull composted goat manure here. wil take care with the soft fluffy ashes!
Thanks for the ratio, got so much wood ash stashed. I throw a bit around in the winter and i put a load on my 2 year compost with branches and bush clippings mixed with grass and whatever, even wood. It's eating pallets at the moment. I plan to change my compost pile into a huge round cylinder with a large door, it will have layers of chicken wire attached inside a concrete grid rolled into a cylinder. then the idea is to have enough space to roll it back and forth. any soil that falls through the mesh is ready. i'm even considering putting it on bearings and making it mechanical. It's around 2M long and over 1M in diameter.
thats very interesting my friend be sure to keep me posted on how that works out... maybe email me a few pictures when the time comes
1pt ash:5pt water, mix really well, use @1c per gallon.
have a wood stove and plenty wood ash. Every fall, i empty my wood stove ash into the garden soil. So far, everything loves it. I did accidentally once mix some ash in with potatoes... never saw a difference. I wondered why the bother of mixing the water etc... and applying every so often. I just go with once a year? Love your channel so far!
Straight wood ash is strongly alkaline. Dumping a lot of it in one place can indeed cause pH problems. If you REALLY overdo it, you can straight up kill plants with too much wood ash. You can use straight wood ashes on purpose to kill weeds; after a couple good rains or waterings it will be diluted out and your soil will be ready to grow something else.
Diluting the ash as shown here adds moderates amounts of the minerals several times a year instead of all at once and avoids burning the plants.
I suspect that by adding it all at once just in the autumn as you described, it's getting diluted by rain/snow naturally over the winter, so there's not a problem. If it's working for you, keep doing that :)
the DogSlobber guy below said it pretty well
I very much appreciate science of nature.
I would like more information on such topic s. Thanks again.
Great idea! Everyone should try it, and produce more food. What you cannot eat, give to family and friends and sell the rest. I will try this out tomorrow with ashes from my fireplace. I would assume charcoal ashes will work too.
I experimented with Old wood ash...it still makes a great soil additive, similar to delta soil composition, I make all my own soil substitute, and , so luckily, this place Still gets normal rain every year.. and that makes very Happy Nightcrawlers for vermiculture
This is unrelated to potash but i grow mushrooms the gourmets use hardwood and soyhulls. That stuff is amazing for a fertilizer and compost. I also add coffee grounds and gypsum. Then "other" mushrooms use coir and vermiculite plus gypsum and coffee grounds again great for compost and fertilizer. Plus will have some surprises every once awhile
Every time you post I find out more about exactly the kind of information I'm interested in. Thanks!
Been saving my wood ash all winter just for this video, no seriously.
Absolutely love your no nonsense style! You have a gift and share freely. May you be blessed with abundance! 💕

Good old Natural products for organic farming.
I swear I watched this video a couple times before but didn't get everything out of it even though it was short and sweet. I am a victim of brainwashing from the non-organic side. I started using the wood ash and then stopped because somebody said something about the pH. Meanwhile I have accumulated enough wood ash to do much work and it just sits there because of my brainwashing. I watched this video again and changed my mind. I'm going to use it starting tomorrow. Thank you Nate.
Great video with scientific explanation, very convincing
Awesome

One of the best crops of potatoes we ever grew we covered the ground with ashes out of our heater. They absolutely l8it
I hear that's how they do it in India. So many myths in the gardening community and not enough actual facts. I'm going to really test this theory out and use this all over my plants whenever I can.
Thank you for answering my question; whether wood ash is the same as Potassium.
Very very informative. Thank you.

@@gardenlikeaviking You're more than welcome anytime brother, please keep up the good work, we really enjoy your videos.
hahahaha, this morning, i need to empty the metal bucket with the wood ash in it ............. everything is perfect because i just see you for the first time accidently, i knew the wood ash good but i would just tip it on the garden, i am time poor, but thank you so much for explaining it all, i enjoy to understand properly, ppl like you i appreciate so much for passing on expert info in a short time. I live in a bushfire area, we had 350,000 hectares burning all around us a couple of years ago in victoria australia, and 100% after fires everything is so fertile and GREEEEEEN ............. take care and thank you again
Did u ever make a video on using potash as an herbicide to kill grass? Koh lye (not soh) would do in powder form to make the spray, too
Ooh! Thank you again. I'm not sure where I would get wood ash in my area, but I'll definitely be looking around. Another great share! I love your content.
in a large coffee can poke some holes and burn twigs and leaves and sticks until you have enough!... good luck
I burn the pallets and free cardboard in business dumpsters. Use a big bonfire. Then scoop up with a shovel and sift the nails out.
I just dont use ash as a water fertalizer, i just shake it on straight, rained on or not.
Ive got about a wheelbarrow full of ash sitting in the burn pit right now. So i definitely know thats an easy way to get it.
I would try swamp water tea instead for a feralizer instead. Its basically all the weeds you pull from the garden, and all plsnt trimmings, in a bucket filled with water on a fish tank bubbler. Used straight. It contains growth hormone enzymes from the weeds, minerals, and larger animos, and nitrogen from the bubbler. Its every bit as effective as miracle grow when applied daily.
Just be careful to use the bubbler, it works if you dont, but creates a deadly superbug yeast that could kill a woman from sepsis via Urinary Tract Infection. And doesnt wash off with ordinary antibacterial soap. Gotta use better than dial. Men wont get a uti from it, or a least nothing dangerous, dunno why.
Do you know how to make a fire? If you put bones in the fire you get more calcium carbonate from the ashes. Straight wood ashes give you potassium carbonate and a bit of hydroxide. Depending on what you add to the fire you can get other things as well. 🤓🍻
@@alsaunders7805 what other things can you get? Is there a source online to read more on what you can put in the fire to get more minerals?
@@davidquartey Everything is online if you ask the right questions. I have only researched calcium and potassium though as far as wood ashes go. I put them in my compost for the garden and I'm experimenting with making potassium nitrate (saltpeter) for black powder. 🤔🍻
You have a fun personality
I enjoy listening to u
excellent what to say i am speechless short and very educative video
thank you my friend!
Cleared things up a bit . Thanks.
Subscribed. Cheers.
I have tryed potatoes two times second time I got just a few The 3rd time I used wood ash once a week like u say I didn’t get tons but I got a bunch Thank u plus this year I am doing them as u showed
I've just discovered your video and there are to the point and very helpful. Love utilizing what nature gives us! Thank you!!
Small notice, ash composition depends on burning temperature. (I found it in scientic article.) Low temperature fire means most of potassium stays in the ash. However with high temperature of fire potassium eventualy evaporates with the smoke leaving behind mostly a calcium. Potassium is major fertiliser element. Well, burning evaporates all the sulphur and nitrogen but ash have benefits on its own. It helps with a snails, helps to build up soil matrix, improves excessive nitrogen from compost alone.
You are gold, I am learning so much valuable information, and am totally greatfull.
Im a gay filipino farmer i have my first ever in my country on jadam.. And yes ita very helpful!! Thanks for simplifying it. :)
Great stuff! Im gonna make a batch or two of this when my tomatoes starts fruiting
I watched this last year. Its May n I have two mega bloom tomatoes n one mega bloom sunflower. The bloom failed on the first tomato, (2 double blooms with ten underneath like a chandelier). But with some pruning, it has transformed into six lead stems producing suckers. It looks like several stems fused into one stalk. 🥹👩🏽🌾🙏Thank u!!!!
Edit: One of my favorite songs from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"... "From the ashes of disasters grows the roses of success". 🙌
Sometimes people make their own charcoal in simple trenches. It's pretty easy, you just dig a trench, fill it with brush, burn it and douse it well or smother it with dirt when the wood is charred to the extent you want. Def not the most efficient way to make char; a fair amount of it tends to be burned all the way down to ash. But it's quick and simple, and that ash is useful.
I bring this up because I'm trying some new beds where I dug a small trench, burned brush and small sticks in it, and then after gathering most of the char built a sort of "hugel bed" row on top of that. My idea is that small amounts of ash left in there from letting some of the wood burn completely will be in the soil for the plants to use.
I also think that having some char in the trench as well as "normal" wood hugel-style should be a benefit as well, for drainage and the usual reasons people like biochar, so I'm working with that too after innoculating the charcoal.
Up north in Canada, I had heard about brush fires that would produce beautiful blueberries.
Hi
I'm from Pakistan
I have a question about wood ash
Can't we use dry wood ash in garlic crops
Yes you can!
I’d been wanting to use wood ash but didn’t know how. Thanks!
Thank you for this info. Im trying to farm/grow food myself so this really helps. ♥
Lots of great information ! From what I read in a study done in Europe adding urine to the wood ashes and letting it sit makes a better or just as good as a fertilizer then store bought fertilizers . Thanks for sharing and have a great evening !
that's a great idea because the ashes are very low in nitrogen and the urine is very high in nitrogen so I could see why they'd work well together!... I'm going to experiment with that thank you!
Urine and wood ashes great for beetroots.
When you mix wood ash with urine, it converts the urine to urea and prevents it from converting to ammonia.
They make synthetic urea from natural gas and it’s found in most commercial fertilizers.
You can also mix urine with wood ash, allow the urine to evaporate (dry) and you end up with a dry fertilizer that can be easily stored.
.
@@gardenlikeaviking : Potatoes love wood ash as well.
.
@@ATinyPillow thank you for this knowledge and I am going to immediately begin experimentation with making and using this
10gm ash per squre foot area is perfectly fine in any kind of soils once in month
watching here in cebu phillippines
Good video, congratulations !!!
The only minimum negative aspect of this type of fertilizer as well as with the use of calcium alone, is that it speeds up a little the mineralization of organic matter of the soil because microorganisms which "eat" the O.M. are much more active when they get this kind of fertilizers or just calcium.
But that is not an important issue if your soil has more than 5% of O.M.
Blessings !!!
i use lump charcoal take the charcoal and grind with a meat grinder have modified put in water add some humas when planting put layer of soil between the plant and charcoal
I thank you so much for this. I'm from Malawi
Hi i can attest to that. Before our house burndown I'd planted some popchoe seed that did not sprout.after the fire they all sprouted and did sow well the neighbors had a feast. Your so right.
What is popchoe?
I also throw in My banana peels and eggahells then i Lite it up till it's all burnt to ashes.👌👌 greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷☀️☀️ and thanks for your great advise!.
thanks for the video, it would rais the ph though, however its ok because we can always adjust it, usually other organic NPK lower the PH specially the fish fertilizers, but ash and biochar will rais ph, again in the end we can adjust the ph before watering.
thanks again for all your videos im a supporter to your channel
It takes a hundred pounds of lime, per 1000 square feet. To drop the acidity level one point.So I doubt this method will have any effect on the pH level. Unless like you said you use a boatload a small area.
I agree and this is also my experience... but the internet is filled with people parroting the same things like it will change PH lol ... thank you!
Loving your work bro, been watching and doing some of Chris Trump's work with KNF and bought the JADAM book, its amazing, Dr Elain Ingham is another level with soil biology.
yes I am familiar with all those things you mentioned and its wonderful to share knowledge!
Very nice information n learned how to use wood ash.sofar l don't know the value of wood Ash.Thank you .
Wow! This is so timely! I was going to burn some wood and sticks this week to make some ash. But I’ll definately be using this water down method! (Subscribed) 👍
Thinking about adding this to my next compost tea
this is best added to the weekly feeding and not brewed with compost tea because it does not help microbial proliferation
@@gardenlikeaviking thank you
I beg to differ re pH: I used wood ash on my lawn. the "before" pH test sample was yellow, the "after" pH test was green. Looks like a change to me.
Love your video. You answered my questions of what to use it on.
This is the first video that showed me how to make liquid potash fertilizer, thank you! I thought why couldn't you do this, but no one has demonstrated. I'm growing an acre of potatoes, which are super heavy potassium feeders. I'll let you know how harvest is ✌
great to hear!... yes please let me know how it goes
Have you harvested your potato's yet? Interested in knowing your result. Cheers
@@gardenlikeaviking honestly man, it was incredible. We did some different control groups based on the different organic nutrients used to fertilize. Everything that got potash water every 2 weeks after blooming was triple the yield. The best regiment we found was to feed the initial growth with chicken manure water, I think it's around 4 1 2, then once the flowers begin to form, water with a heavily diluted liquid potash fertilizer every 2 weeks, with the week in between watering without nutrients. We harvested about 7000lbs of Blue Sapphire potatoes, by hand and this was our first year on freshly cut forest. Your video was of great utility to us, thank you
