Can mosquito coil ash be used to grow vegetables? You need to understand the correct usage
In summer there are so many mosquitoes, and the mosquito coils burned at home produce a lot of ash, so can mosquito coil ash be used to grow vegetables?
1. Can mosquito coil ash be used to grow vegetables?
Mosquito coil ash can be used to grow vegetables. It contains potassium fertilizer, and mixing it into the soil can help supplement nutrients, but the effect is very slight.
2. The uses of mosquito coils in daily life
1. Cleaning stainless steel
Many people like stainless steel utensils, because the smooth, bright surface looks very elegant. Stainless steel washbasins and tableware are common items in the home, but if stainless steel utensils are used for a long time, some stubborn stains may form that cannot be removed with dish soap. At this time, apply some mosquito coil ash to the area with stubborn stains on the stainless steel and then wipe it with a dishcloth, and the stubborn stains can be cleaned off.
2. Cleaning tiles
Putting white tiles in the home can make people feel especially bright and spacious, but white tiles easily become very dirty and are not easy to clean, so cleaning tiles has also become a troublesome matter for housewives. Sprinkle the mosquito coil ash left after the mosquito coil burns on the tiles and then mop with a mop, and the tiles can be cleaned very thoroughly. Tiles in the bathroom can also be cleaned this way! The effect is also excellent.
3. It can relieve itching
If people are bitten by mosquitoes and develop redness, swelling and itching, then mosquito coil ash can be applied to the itchy area, which can help relieve the body's itching, because mosquito coil ash is an alkaline substance and can help neutralize the acidic substances secreted by mosquitoes, relieving the itching.
4. Treating athlete's foot
Athlete's foot is a foot condition that is relatively difficult to cure. People can apply hot mosquito coil ash to the area with athlete's foot, or hold a hot mosquito coil near the area with athlete's foot to help athlete's foot recover faster. So mosquito coil ash has quite a few clever uses; do not throw it away casually!
5. Used for sharpening knives
If the kitchen knives at home are used for a long time, small nicks can easily appear. If a whetstone is used to sharpen the knife, it is easy for some small chips at the blade edge to remain that cannot be smoothed out. Because the powder of mosquito coil ash is relatively fine, using mosquito coil ash to sharpen a knife can make the blade incomparably smooth. Moreover, the toxicity of mosquito coil ash is relatively weak, so after sharpening, just wash the blade area clean and it can be used to cut vegetables.
Although mosquito coil ash can be used to grow vegetables, it is not recommended that everyone use it, because the effect is not great, and the quality of the vegetables that grow will not be very good either.
