Hearth Ash: Your Kitchen Garden's Secret Superfood for Thriving Plants!

  • Hearth ash, often discarded, is a natural superfood for kitchen gardens, improving soil quality and plant growth.
  • Rich in potash, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, it strengthens roots, promotes flowering/fruiting, and balances soil acidity.
  • Easy to use: mix dry, cool ash into soil or sprinkle on top of pots/beds to improve soil structure and aeration.
  • Acts as a natural pesticide, deterring ants, snails, and small insects without chemicals.
  • Use sparingly (once or twice a month) to avoid excessive alkalinity; ensure ash is only from wood or cow dung, not plastic or coal.

Why It Matters: Hearth ash is an inexpensive, natural, and eco-friendly fertilizer and pesticide for healthy kitchen gardens.
