It's getting cold now and we're starting to use

My question is, will this ash be beneficial to the
soil on my allotment or should I just bin it ??

Its good nutrients, potash. It can also be used for weed clearance,
put down a 2-3" layer of ash and nothing will survive. It'll be a year
or so before anything dare grow again though.
