Wood ash

Hey kiddo! Do you know what wood ash is? It's what's left behind after we burn wood in a fire.

Now, did you know that wood ash is actually really helpful for plants and gardens? It's true! When we sprinkle wood ash on the soil, it can provide important nutrients for plants to grow big and strong.

Do you know what nutrients are? They're like food for plants! Just like how we need veggies and fruit to grow healthy and strong, plants need nutrients to grow big and strong too.

Wood ash contains nutrients like potassium, calcium, and magnesium that can help plants grow. So if you ever start a garden, remember to save your wood ash and sprinkle it on the soil.

But it's important to remember that too much wood ash can be bad for plants. It's like how eating too much candy is bad for us - we need to have a balanced diet. So just a little sprinkle of wood ash can do wonders for plants, but don't go crazy with it!
