Potash rich ashes boost garden yields with stable manure
Most grains lack potash so manure alone fails. For family gardens, wood ashes from fuel-rich farms suffice, with up to ten tons per acre. Use ashes as a top dressing and rotate crops such as onions and beans or peas to keep ground productive and minimize nutrient loss.
Experiments Show Manure Nitrogen Loss Varies by Bedding
European trials quantify nitrogen loss from stable manure with different bedding. Peat bedding yields 63.6 percent loss, straw 50.2 percent, and peat or earth about half that. Dry earth with humus rivals peat. A practical method is to place earth or peat over straw to catch manure drips.
