Can I make cucumber,grapefruit, and potato skin ash myself? Is it like just peeling the skin, let it dry a bit and burn it to ash? Or is it a commercial more complicatede process that I can't do myself with basic equipments?

It's to supply my soil with organic Pottasium. I've red that cucumber skin Ashe has a lot and releases them pretty fast. Like wood Ashe I guess. Idk I am a noob. I just red that somewhere.

potassium isn't usually a deficient thing in organics.
And if it was, a quick molasses tea would fix that right up.
a mix of neem, kelp, crab, and alfalfa meals will cover any and all nutrients, micro and macro.
especially if you have a good EWC/Compost

Use wood ash or composted leaves for potassium.

Or you know... potassium nitrate, sulfate or potassium hydroxide. Guaranteed 100% organic.
