How to Add Soluble Potash to the Lawn

A healthy, lush lawn needs nutrients to maintain its vigor. Potash is a valuable source of potassium that helps the other nutrients your lawn needs get where they need to go. Potash also helps plants stay strong through cold and heat snaps and helps them resist pests and disease. Potash is available in the fertilizer section of your garden center, or you can use hardwood wood ashes dissolved in water as your source of potash.
