Biomass Pellet Ash

October 20th, 2008 by admin Leave a reply »

Once the pellets have been burnt the ash remains must be removed from the burner and disposed off. However the ash from the pellets is not a waste, It can be used as a soil amendment to improve the quality of poor soils. The ash contains high levels of nitrogen.

Composting
Instead of directly mixing the ash into the soil, it generally is a better idea to create compost, and add to the soil when needed. The compost will be a rich soil amendment with concentrated nutrients.

Wood Pellet Ash and Potash
Wood ash as a soil amendment can be particularly beneficial to fruit trees with stones in the fruit.

PH
Wood ash and potash can raise the PH of the soil to make the soil more alkaline. Through composting with soil and other ingredients like peat, this can reduce the PH. Obviously if the soil already has a high PH the ash should be used else where.

Biomass ash improves soil quality, provides nutrients and improves the soils ability to hold water. The ash should be used a soil conditioner.
