as uit de haard

Recommended Posts

Ik lees op internet veel dat het toepassen van as uit bijvoorbeeld je open haard goed is om in de bloei toe te passen en/of door je grondje te mengen voor de toevoeging van voedingstoffen en sporenelementen.

 

Wel van hout dus niet van papier, ik heb veel van deze as tot mijn beschikking met verschillende houtsoorten zoals pallethout (waaibomen hout), beuken, vuren en hardhout.

 

Kan iemand mij bevestigen of dit goede houtsoorten zijn om toe te passen?

Ja dus.

 

Wat ik nog kan toevoegen, is dat de hardste houtsoorten ook de zwaarste in gewicht zijn bij dezelfde omvang.

En dus denk ik dat die ook de meeste bouwstoffen zullen bevatten.

Een stukje wat ik gevonden heb via de link van Nesta, dus wel degelijk iets om te overwegen als je het voor handen hebt. Mischien een zooitje hout verbranden in de vuurkorf op deze winterdag?

 

This is just something i have copied and pasted to this forum because I think im the only one here that uses wood ashes and maby others could benefit from it also. Im not sure if I even posted this in the right place but here it is.

 

Using fireplace ashes in your garden

 

Since Roman times, wood ash has been recognized as a useful amendment to the soil. In fact, North America exported wood ash to Britain in the 18th century as a fertilizer, and today, 80 per-cent of the ash produced commercially in the Northeastern United States is applied to the land.

 

Wood stoves and fireplaces are great for warming gardeners' chilly hands and feet. So, what can we do with the ashes? Since wood ash is derived from plant material, it contains most of the 13 essential nutrients the soil must have for good plant growth and health.

 

When wood burns, nitrogen and sulfur are lost as gases, and calcium, potassium, magnesium and trace element compounds remain. The remaining carbonates and oxides are valuable liming agents, raising pH, thus neutralizing acid soils. Soils that are acid and low in potassium benefit from wood ash. However, acid-loving plants such as blueberries, cranberries, rhododendrons and azaleas would not do well at all with an application of wood ash.

 

Wood ash has a very fine particle size, so it reacts rapidly and completely in the soil. Although small amounts of nutrients are applied with wood ash, the main effect is that it is a liming agent. The average ash is equivalent to a 0-1-3 (N-P-K). The chemical

 

makeup varies with the type of wood burned. Hardwoods produce three times as much ash per cord as do softwoods.

 

Calcium and potassium are both essential to plant growth. Calcium is needed for root development, strong cell walls and protein formation in the plant. Potassium is an important catalyst in photosynthesis and is essential for the movement of sugars, seed formation, protein synthesis and the use of nitrogen in plants.

 

Wood ash should never be applied to areas where potatoes will be planted as ash can pro-

 

'mote potato scab. For most garden soil, 20 pounds (about a 5-gallon pail) per 1,000 square feet can be applied safely each year. That equals about 6 pounds of ground limestone applied to the same area.

 

The best time to apply wood ash is in the spring when the soil is dry and before tilling. In compost piles wood ash can be used to maintain a neutral condition, the best environment for microorganisms to break down organic materials. Sprinkle ash on each layer of compost. This is especially good if you have oak leaves or pine needles in your compost heap.

 

Wood ash can be used to repel insects, slugs and snails because it draws water out of these invertebrates. Sprinkle ash around the base of your plants to discourage surface-feeding insects. Once ash gets wet, it loses its deterring properties. Too much ash can increase pH or accumulate high levels of salts that can be harmful to some plants, so use ashes carefully.

 

Ash should be stored in a metal container with a secure lid. This helps prevent accidental fires from live coals and prevents water from flowing through the ash and leaching out the nutrients before the materials are applied to the soil.

 

Caution should be used when handling wood ash:

 

Protect yourself as you would if you were handling household bleach or any other strong alkaline material. Wear eye protection, gloves and a dust mask.

Do not use ash from burning trash, cardboard; coal or pressure-treated, painted or stained wood. These materials contain potentially harmful chemicals, The glue in cardboard contains boron, an element that can inhibit plant growth if applied in excess.

Do not scatter ashes during windy periods.

Do not mix ash with nitrogen fertilizer as ammonium sulfate or ammonium nitrates or urea. These fertilizers lose their nitrogen as ammonia gas when mixed with high pH materials such as wood ash. For a lawn, wait at least a month after wood ash is applied before putting down a nitrogen fertilizer to allow for the soil to reduce the alkalinity of the wood ash.

Never leave wood ash in lumps or piles. Concentrated piles of wood ash causes excessive salt build-up in the soil through leaching and can create a harmful environment for plants.

Gebruik het zelf ook regelmatig rond buitenplanten. Het verzuurd iets dus hou daar rekening mee. Verder spoelt het snel uit dus gebruik het op het moment dat je planten de voeding nodig hebben. Als je het nu alvast in de grond stopt voor je planten van de zomer is het weg. Ik gebruik het als topping

Het werkt ook super tegen slakken dus heeft een dubbele werking.

 

Edit: ik gebruik alleen assen van onbehandeld hout. Dus niet van de schutting van de buurvrouw die ik heb op staan fikken in de tuin bijv.

Inderdaad, hout met verf en waar op gekliederd is of geimpregneerd is kan je beter niet gebruiken.

 

Mijn idee was een aantal keren toepassen in de laatste 4 weken van de bloei bijvoorbeeld als topping.

 

De groenvoorzieningen hier in de regio zijn weer aan het kappen dus je kan nu rond deze tijd weer een aantal aanhangertjes

volgooien met brandhout! :icecream:

Ik heb het in eerste instantie uit het filmpje op youtube "A growers lot" Die kerel spreekt ook over as uit de haard toepassen in de bloei.

Zijn er houtsoorten die er extra geschikt voor zijn? Die extra veel goede stoffen dragen?
