What is Wood ash: the residue powder left over after the combustion of wood, such as burning wood in a home fireplace or an industrial power plant. It is used traditionally by gardeners as an organic fertilizer and it’s very a good source of potash. The PH value of wood is between 8 and 9.
One more point to remember is – there is something called Bio-Char – those small pieces of wood that have burnt completely but not converted into powder. These biochar pieces are excellent material to mix in a succulent soil mixture. But for soil amendment, when it comes to charcoal ash – that’s obtained by burning coal pieces, its better to avoid this for plants as this comes from burning of coal and it contains higher amount of metals which might harm your plants.
Wood ash, has a very high potassium carbonate content, which makes it an excellent choice as a fertilizer. In addition to potassium, wood ash is a rich source of phosphorus, calcium and magnesium. Additionally, it contains small amounts of useful micronutrients like: Molybdenum, Manganese, Copper, Sodium, Boron, Zinc and Iron.

Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
