How can I make cucumber/potato/grapefruit skin Ashe?

[Limolax]

The reason I am asking is that I am looking for organic source of K. Most organics have high n and p and your choices are limited in K and in my case my choice are very limited. So I just wanted to know if in the future I don't find much source of k I can rely on something simple like cucumber skin ash. Thank you all for participating. I guess I got my answer. If need be, it can be done easily but with caution

For about 70 bucks you can have a 50 lb bag of sulpomag delivered to your door.....

Just head on down to that mythical grow store in Tehran and pick up a few things, eh?

I laugh at my own jokes the most. It helps you if can say it with an overdone Canadian accent.

If you are willing to make something, you can take rice water, let it sit for 10-14 days, add the middle seperated area and put that in milk for a month and this will make EM1 which is used numerous ways in third world countries for fertilizer. You can add the fruit scraps and use this recipe to make a fermented plant extract with a high potassium rating along with some beneficial microbes. I have some recipes if you want. Take a few months but it would be ready for your second crop.

...yeehaw ..go for it man ..fuck all the bullshit..ashes are free and work as well as any other source...wood ash will raise the ph of acidic organic solutions...I used a lot of ash when I ran earth juice in my greenhouses...I too searched for an affordable fast acting source of k ....now a days I run earth juice meta k and have a stockpile...but I would use ash if I needed too...I used to have unlimited ash...
