just wondering if the ashes and charcoal are ok for the compost or
whether i'm better off just putting them in the bin.

Ashes from a wood fire are, in the garden, effectivley the same as lime.



Or potash?


Both actually. I would recommend wood ash in the compost provided that you
don't over do it and take the pH up too far.
