Hey nature lovers I hope your orchards and gardens are giving flowers and fruits, we are already in April waiting for the rainy season where everything is born and blooms, time to prepare the land, now the birds are making nests and collecting and spacing seeds doing their job beautifully, I love how the birds embellish with their colors, flight and singing. But this is not a Bird post hehehehe.... Today I want to share with the community my #gardenjournal fertilizing my fruit trees, this time with ash.
One of my curiosities at the beginning of this path to start planting edible garden in @vida.verde was to know more about this costuble that exists in my country Venezuela, to perform controlled burns before in the family land as part of the preparation of the land to then plant the "Conúco".
The Conúcos are family farms whose main crop is corn, cassava and beans, a trilogy planting an excellent crop association for its development.
At the beginning I thought that burning was only an easier way to kill weeds that were left after the cleaning of the land and that could affect the planting and if this is one of them, there are even people who only do it by tradition without really knowing all the benefits of ash for our plants.

But as I am curious and observant I started to investigate more, we do not burn, but the neighbor does, I saw the difference in the results between our crop and the neighbor's, his corn grew faster, stronger and super loaded and without pest problems.
Here are some of the benefits of using the ash:
✳️ PH control: It's all in the ash, the ash helps to control the PH of the soil,
✳️ Decompact the soil: here we have clay soil, we have used agricultural lime to decompact the soil and level its acidity, we have been testing with the ash and we see good results.
✳️ Nourish the plants: Ashes are also a powerful fertilizer of has phosphorus, potassium and calcium ideal for fruit trees gives very good results.
✳️ The use of ash also prevents and kills fungi that may be in the soil, I am just now testing its effectiveness with this avocado tree that is growing happily, in fruit trees you can put it directly on the base and if you want to remove a little soil.
✳️ It is ideal to avoid aphids and other unwanted insects, the ash is wonderful to avoid fungus and right now I am using it for them.
The best thing is that the ash is free so now every time we use the campfire we have this wonderful fertilizer, anti fungus, PH leveler and natural repellent for plants.without a doubt all the answers are in nature itself 😉.

Abonando con Cenizas los Arboles Frutales !!🌳🔥| Vida Verde
Hey amantes de la naturaleza espero que sus huertos y jardines estén dando flores y frutos, ya estamos en Abril esperando la epocá de lluvias donde todo nace y florece, tiempo de prepara la tierra, ahora los pajaros están haciendo nidos y recolectando y espaciando semillas haciendo maravillosamente su labor, me encanta como las aves embelleces con sus colores, vuelo y canto. Pero este no es un post de Aves jejeje... Hoy quiero compartir con la comunidad mi #gardenjournal abonando mis frutales, esta vez con ceniza.
Una de mis curiosidades al inicio de este caminos de empezar la siembra de jardin comestible en @vida.verde verde era saber mas de esta costuble que hay en mi pais Venezuela , de realizar quemas antes controladas en los terrenos familiares como parte de la preparación de la tierra para luego sembrar el "Conúco".
Los Conúcos son siembra familiares que su cultivo principal es el maíz, la yuca y frijoles, siembra trilogía una excelente asociación de cultivo para su desarrollo.
Al inicio creía que la quema solo era una manera mas facíl de matar malas hierbas que quedaran despúes de la limpieza de del terreno y que pudieran afectar la siembra y si esta es una de ellas, incluso hay personas que solo lo hacen por tradicción sin conocer realmente todos los beneficios de la ceniza para nuestras plantas.

Pero como soy curiosa y observadora me puse a investigar mas, nosotros no realizamos quemas, pero el vecino si lo hace, yo veía la diferencia de los resultados entre nuestro cultivo y el del vecino, el maíz de el creío mas rapído fuerte y super cargado y sin problemas de plagas.
Aquí alguno de los Beneficios del uso de la Ceniza:
✳️ Control de PH: El todo esta en las cenizas, las cenizas ayudan a controlar el PH del suelo,
✳️ Descompactar el suelo: aquí tenemos tierra arcillosa hemos usado cal agricola para descompactar el suelo y nivelas su acides, hemos venido probando con la ceniza y vemos buenos resultados.
✳️ Nutrir las plantas: Las cenizas también son un fertilizante potente de tiene fósforo, potasio y calcio ideal para los arboles frutales da muy buenos resultados.
✳️ El uso de la ceniza también previene y mata hongos que puedan estar en la tierra.Ahora justo esto probando su eficacia con este arbol de aguacate que va creciendo felizmente.En los arboles frutales se lo puedes colocar directo en las base y si quieres remover un poco la tierra.
✳️ Es ideal evitar pulgones y otros insectos no deseados, la ceniza es maravillosa para evitar hongos justo ahora lo esto usando para ellos y a su vez .
Lo mejor es que la ceniza es gratis asi que ahora cada vez que usamos la fogata tenemos este maravilloso abono, anti hongos, nivelador de PH y repelente natural para las plantas.Sin duda alguna todas las respuestas están en la misma naturaleza. 😉
