RE: Potash

Wood ashes are also high in potash.  I sprinkle them on my compost pile all winter long (after the embers have died out; it's no fun to burn your compost pile to the ground).

Hello,

Here is a quote that may be useful to you...

"Some organic fertilizers are high in one of the three major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, or potash,) but low or zero in the other two. Some are low in all three macronutrients. A few organic products can be purchased "fortified" for a higher nutrient analysis. The ingredients used to fortify organic fertilizers are organic materials; for example, rock phosphate to increase phosphorus, or greensand to increase potash."

So that is one "organic" source for potash.

Regards,
Tom

Can anyone suggest a fertilizer high in potash or a good source of potash?
