Re: FHIA 03 Sweetheart
It could work as a decorative banana, like a snow banana. DB's are like that too, imo.

Re: FHIA 03 Sweetheart
Quote:
The largest component of wood ash (about 25 percent) is calcium carbonate, a common liming material that increases soil alkalinity. 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 of a liming agent. Increasing the alkalinity of the soil does affect plant nutrition. Nutrients are most readily available to plants when the soil is slightly acidic. As soil alkalinity increases and the pH rises above 7.0, nutrients such as phosphorus, iron, boron, manganese, copper, zinc and potassium become chemically tied to the soil and less available for plant use. Calcium deficiency is a widespread problem in banana crops and significantly reduces fruit quality. Moisture stress is the major cause of calcium deficiency as it interrupts the root uptake of calcium and leads to localized deficiencies in fruit. Boron is required for the maintenance of transpiration (water uptake) and therefore also calcium uptake. Over-use of nitrogen fertilizers and excessive plant vigor also compound calcium deficiencies. Calcium and boron are also essential for plant strength and therefore deficient plants are more likely to suffer from fungal diseases and environmental stresses. Calcium deficiencies are common in both acid and alkaline soils even when exchangeable soil calcium levels are high. This is largely due to the low mobility of soil calcium and competition with other nutrients such as ammonium nitrogen, potassium and magnesium Applying small amounts of wood ash to most soils will not adversely affect your garden crops, and the ash does help replenish some nutrients. But because wood ash increases soil pH, adding large amounts can do more harm than good.

Re: FHIA 03 Sweetheart
Thanks, PR Giants.
Makes perfectly sense. That is why I put my BBQ or fire place ashes in the compost, but have heard some different opinions on that, too ( it might destroy some micro organism that are important for the process of composting). Any opinions on that? |

Ash is caustic and dangerous, so moderation is prudent. I prefer chunks of biochar, less mobile and interacts more slowly.
