Ashes are usually very alkaline! Where do you live? If your soil
conditions are already a high pH it is probably not a good idea. However if
your soil is acid the ashes will help raise the pH.

Hi guys,

Our dog was put to sleep 3 weeks ago, we had him privately cremated and
thus
we have his ashes. We were thinking of planting a rose bush in his memory.
This might be a stupid question, but if I add the ashes to the soil I use
for the rose bush, will it "ruin" the planting phase?

Thanks,
Emil
