Hi thank you so much for sharing, yes very interesting and useful info and tips to try out. I have been wondering about how to experiment with using hard wood ash from wood stove in the garden. I am super interested in anything you are up to with cultivating Native Plants. I have been learning about this topic the past couple years. I tried to do a mini meadow area after reading some books on the topic but it didn't work for me so far. I am also simply tending more to Natives already on my property like Yucca by weeding out invasives surrounding it so it will thrive more.
Adding wood ash to the garden is a great way to add potassium and phosphorus to the soil, you just want to only do a light application 1-2 times per year. More than that shifts the pH of the soil in a way that could be detrimental to most garden plants. It's a balance! I'll be sharing more about native plant propagation soon!
I think this is my favorite post from you so far! Inspiring and full of useful information. Do you think you'll be implementing drip irrigation in the future? I've been wanting to install that type of watering system in my garden.
Thank you! That’s motivating to hear :) I do plan to install drip irrigation in the greenhouse in the spring because I don’t water in there enough and spray irrigation in the greenhouse is not ideal. Drip is nice in general because of the water conservation and maybe I’ll eventually move the whole garden onto that type of system, but I do like my sprayers in the garden because they cover so much area and the birds like them.
winter is the a special time in the mind and heart of a gardener ❤️
