Is it advisable to use wood ash on garden beds? What about in compost?
Hi Pat,
Putting woodash on he garden is OK, provided your'e not burning
treated pine. Some plants, raspberries are the only ones that spring
to mind, like alkaline conditions and woodash can be applied directly.
What I do is mix the ash into the compost heap - so everybody gets a
share
