Question - should I be mixing wood ash into soil I plant to grow potatoes?
I have to start with some tilling, the particular area that I'm scouting is a sunny area of dry clay with grass that get absolutely parched in the summer time. If I'm going to be disturbing the soil anyway I might as well as amendments because of how leached out that area is.
Potatoes need potassium, wood ash contains potassium - this makes sense, right?
Going to be planting indeterminate and determinate varieties in an area of about 150 sqft (roughly 10x15). Probably going to be using row mounding.
