Hi i heard potash is a good feed for plants etc but is there a certain
type of wood i need to use? also can i use it straight the way after i
have made it?

Sorry i posted somewhere else on the forum but thought it maybe better
in here

thanks


Willow makes a very fine ash, but any wood will work. Spread the
ashes evenly and lightly. Check your pH, and again in 3 months.
