*****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
Watched an old fellow one time plant a huge garden of potatoes long ago, no motorized equipment and no rototiller. Dug the furrows with a hoe and then he went down in his cellar and brought up a big bucket full of wood ashes and spread along the bottom of the furrows, then set out his cut potatoes(chitting) and covered them. Had the best potatoes ever. People need to get back to some of the old ways of doing things. They might learn something! Also, wood ashes from my pellet stove work great for potash.
thank you for your input my friend!... I am finding there's no ill effect in using wood ashes as well...
I have a pellet stove. I'm using Golden Fire pellets. I was wondering if this was safe to use. It's made from Douglas Fir from Oregon. I was under the impression that the pellets had some type of glue in them.
@@gardenlikeaviking I use woodash under my potatoes and then a little on the surface with Boron, and I’m a market gardener.🌱🌱🌱🎶🤗👍
@@highlandsgardeningcoach No glue in wood pellets. Just sawdust and high pressure used to manufacture.
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 when the wood is charred to the extent you want.
I bring this up because I'm trying some new beds where I dug a small trench, burned wood in it, and then after gathering most of the char built a sort of hugel bed on top of that. My idea is that any 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.
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
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. 🙏
Every time you post I find out more about exactly the kind of information I'm interested in. Thanks!
I've just discovered your video and there are to the point and very helpful. Love utilizing what nature gives us! Thank you!!
With much ❤ and gratitude - thanks for being our teacher!
The more I watch the more I get addicted to your knowledge. Much appreciated!
This guy is great! I've learned so much from him. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Wow!that voice and its clarity!thank God for giving you that Unique gift!
I have benefited from your teachings be blessed bro.
wow! omg so interesting you are such a wealth of knowledge and are an incredible teacher ..you always say the “ why” THANK YOU!
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.
I threw a handful of ash from my bbq grill directly into the bag at planting, and my potatoes did great.
One of the best video I’ve ever watched! THANK YOU!!!
Absolutely love your no nonsense style! You have a gift and share freely. May you be blessed with abundance! 💕
thank you my friend and yes my life is overflowing with abundance!... may you also be blessed with abundance!!
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.
I’m 72 and I’ve just learned how to use wood ash in my garden.thank u!
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.
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!
Been gaining a lot of knowledge from this channel. Glad I subscribed.
Me too
You are genius my friend! You explain everything soooo nice!!! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful video 🌷...
I’m transitioning to natural fertilizers and these videos are so helpful. Thank you!!
You are gold, I am learning so much valuable information, and am totally greatfull.
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) 👍
You have a fun personality
I enjoy listening to 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
Cleared things up a bit . Thanks.
Subscribed. Cheers.
So glad to hear the art and magic of ash. I must work to get maximum profit from this. Your explanation is wow.God bless you bro.
Man I love that you love earth so much, love this channel. Hello from 🇵🇦
oh yes it is the mother that sustains us all
Useful and interesting for home vegetables . Thank you dear Sir .
I usually use mine as a potatoe and sweet potatoe cake for planting, it keeps the bugs off. And periodically add to the garden beds.
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. ❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
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.
Been saving my wood ash all winter just for this video, no seriously.
I very much appreciate science of nature.
I would like more information on such topic s. Thanks again.
Great video!!! Ive known about ash since grade school when they taught us about slash and burn methods that the indigenous people here in the states used to do. But as you said - I was under the impression that it messed with the soil pH to much. Now that I've been growing in living soil I know this to be different.
that's right they knew the wisdom of the land!
I've subscribed already hoping to receive more light from your experience and teaching
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.
Love your video. You answered my questions of what to use it on.
So glad I found your channel! Thank you!
Great video with scientific explanation, very convincing
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.
Hi! Just found this video. My daddy always used woodshed to dust his garden plants. Especially potato plants! It helped kill potato bugs in the same way DE does.
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.
Thank you for this info. Im trying to farm/grow food myself so this really helps. ♥
Avoid burning pallets for ash, they are commonly sprayed with copper salts or old to keep bugs and fungi from eating the wood
And two forms of Hydrobromic acid and hydrobromide monohydrate.
Penetrable in the timber upto 200mm kills everything.... Everything.
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
Nice tips for better farming, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful growth thanks for sharing 🙌
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.
Great stuff! Im gonna make a batch or two of this when my tomatoes starts fruiting
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.
1pt ash:5pt water, mix really well, use @1c per gallon.
I’d been wanting to use wood ash but didn’t know how. Thanks!
very good channel i love the videos thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
greetings from Germany🥦👈🏻🥸👍🏻💚
Great !
I loved it much.
Thanks for this video.
Thanks for the video and info! Much appreciated.
I thank you so much for this. I'm from Malawi
I strongly agree Sir. Wood ash is also one of the best natural fertilizers.
🎉😢
God is amazing, what a wonderful part of His creation. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for these videos I'm getting more interested in organic fitrlizer now that they are taking about firtlizer shortages next year and with what's going on in the world today we all need to learning this stuff
Oooh, so excited!!!
Very nice information n learned how to use wood ash.sofar l don't know the value of wood Ash.Thank you .
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
Thanks so much for the video and info. I will make a lot of it tomorrow.
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.
You are so great and knowledgeable.thanks
Muito bom voce entende muito obrigado e Deus lhe abençoe
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
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 🤔
Really, you are doing great. Keep it up.
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 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
Very very informative. Thank you.

Very good presentation and information
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.
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 !!!
Nicely done , Thanks Muchacho .

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.
Thanks for sharing. This information is worth subscribing to your channel 😍😍
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
Thank you for answering my question; whether wood ash is the same as Potassium.
FANTASTIC INFORMATION THANKS
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!.
I love this my friend
excellent what to say i am speechless short and very educative video
thank you my friend!
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.
Thank you so much for sharing this to us
Up north in Canada, I had heard about brush fires that would produce beautiful blueberries.
Thank u ☺️ God bless I am from Melbourn
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'.
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.

Thank you for the advice, from Morocco with ❤
I rode a bicycle through Morocco many years ago!... rode from Tangier down to Agadir and then went into small little villages like Fask and Sidi Bibi ... I love Moroccan hospitality!
@@gardenlikeaviking You're more than welcome anytime brother, please keep up the good work, we really enjoy your videos.
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
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. :)
Nice demonstration
that nice i always use wóid for cooking
