Teak is a tropical hardwood tree species in the family Lamiaceae. It is a large, deciduous tree that occurs in mixed hardwood forests. Tectona grandis has small, fragrant white flowers arranged in dense clusters at the end of the branches. These flowers contain both types of reproductive organs. Teak is exceptionally durable and resistant to extremes of the weather, rotting and warping, making it a good choice for outdoor garden furniture that will last for decades to come, even if left untreated.
Standard quality wood powder, often referred to as sawdust, is a finely ground wood product that is a byproduct of woodworking operations. It's typically characterized by its consistent texture and particle size, ensuring it's suitable for various applications. Commonly used as a binding agent in agarbattis (incense sticks), a soil amendment, or in the manufacturing of various wood products.
Wood ash powder, often used as a fertilizer and soil amendment, is considered standard quality when it's made from pure, organic wood sources without contaminants, and is finely powdered for ease of application. It should be a good source of essential nutrients like potassium, calcium, and magnesium, and should promote healthy plant growth without negative side effects.
