Just keep away from the smoke if there are doubtful items; if in real
doubt (for example about wood preservatives) take them to the recycling
place.

As a precaution I tend to dilute the ash by recycling it through the
compost heap, to which I tend to add a lot of soil to aid decomposition.
Soil and humus are quite good at binding potassium and phosphate; nitrogen
too (there's none in ash) if it's not nitrate.

No nasty wood as far as I know. The last lot I put on were leaves!! There
was some plastic rubbish, but not a lot. My thoughts on the compost heap as
well.

Thanks for the input

In general bonfire ash is beneficial, but what care must be taken when
there are 'unknowns'? Plastic vanishes, but metal survives in a twisted
state which can and has been removed. Mainly wood, paper, plant debris,
but ...... ?

Any comments and advice?
