Raspberries are the pearl of any plot, so caring for the crop is especially delicate. Careful gardeners are always looking for something to feed the picky bushes in moderation. Ash is widely used in gardening. But can it be used as a top dressing for raspberries?

Details

Yes, dry ash can be used on raspberries. It is used both separately and as part of organic mixtures.

Ash is selected from the plot and stored for 3-6 months. Take the one that remains after burning logs. The one that was obtained after burning garbage or plants infected with some disease will not work.

The ashes are scattered under the bushes and covered with a layer of mulch. It is not recommended to dig the area. Raspberry roots grow shallowly, so there is a high risk of damaging the root system.

Options are allowed in which the ashes are applied together with mullein, compost or humus.

It is important to remember that storing ashes in the open air is useless. It must be covered with something to start the decomposition process. You can use a small layer of soil or mulch.
