Oh really?
Why don't I need treatment for rainwater?
I thought all standing water was like that. But good to know, thank you very much for your tip.

Rainwater is soft water by itself and does not contain minerals.
Although nowadays, sand from the Sahara arrives in our air and falls to the ground with the rain, and the Etna volcano also threw out a lot of ash and dirt.
Maybe you could add a fine filter
That's right, rainwater is soft water in itself, and as it also feeds the rivers, I thought we had the same quality in both, but environmental factors do play a part. although I think ash is also good for the soil, as ash used to be sprinkled in the planting hole to keep them healthy.😊
Yes, ash is good for plants, wood ash, I even wrote in earlier posts that we add ash around the plant and on the plant, potatoes in the fight against the potato beetle. But Volcanic ash is not good.
Wood ash contains key plant nutrients, including potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, as well as trace elements. Potassium, calcium and magnesium are especially useful because they are soluble in water, which means that they act quickly on the soil.
Ash composition:
Potassium (K): Essential for plant growth, flower and fruit development.
Calcium (Ca): Required for the development of cell walls and the absorption of other nutrients.
Phosphorus (P): Key to root development and flowering.
Magnesium (Mg): Constituent part of chlorophyll, required for photosynthesis.
Trace elements: Small but important additions like boron, which are also necessary for plants.
Of course, the quality of ash depends on the type of wood used.
Ok, I didn't know that volcanic ash is not so good... you did a great job explaining that, yes... I am also educated about it except for the use with boron.
What exactly do you do with it and for which plants do you use it?
Boron is a trace element in ash
Plants' needs for the microelement, boron, are relatively small, but it is one of the biogenic elements that is very important for plants because it affects the yield, thanks to the fact that it promotes fertilization.
Ok, that sounds sensible and makes sense, which is why the fields used to be flamed after the harvest. They don't do that here anymore, but I've seen it in Croatia.
