For example, the soil in our vegetable garden was very hard a few years ago. That's because my husband has set off firecrackers in the vegetable garden for two consecutive years during the Spring Festival. As a result, after we cleaned the paper on the firecrackers, the remaining firecrackers powder destroyed the soil in the vegetable garden. As a result, the vegetables grown in our family didn't grow well in those years. One spring, before planting vegetables, my mother-in-law learned about the vegetable garden. She hurried home with a big bag of plant ash. We cleaned the vegetable garden together. Then we moisten the soil with water and sprinkle plant ash on it. After plant ash was soaked, I began to dig and buried plant ash deeply in the soil.
Plant ash was used three times to improve the soil in the small garden. Growing vegetables is not a problem now. My husband will never set off firecrackers in the garden again. Although I don't cook much at home or in plant ash, as long as I cook, I will use it in the vegetable garden, which will not only help to disinfect, but also improve the soil quality and supplement potash fertilizer. Of course, other soil fertilizers are also applied to the roots.
Plant ash has another purpose: farms like to use plant ash to clean pigsty or other livestock pens, and plant ash's natural disinfection ability is better than medicine. It has two functions: drying and disinfection.
