I know fireplace ashes are good to use in the garden, but

how about cigar ashes?




Sounds feasible. Just was told when using my BBQ Charcoal ashes, that
ashes have a pH unsuitable for directy applying to the lawn. So,
composting, and adding a balance was needed.

Check with your local garden center, they help with establishing if
you soil needs the pH boost ashes can do, or if you need to compensate
for it.

BTW, I wonder, if tobacco is a good bug repellent, does cigar ashes
repell bad bugs? :\
