I recently acquired a wood burner for the workshop/garage and was hoping to
use the ash somehow in the garden. I read that small amounts can be
beneficial to the garden but in the winter months I will have lots of the
stuff as I will be spending lots of time in there with a project I'm
working on.

My question is what can I do with the ash?
I have read that it is good for tomatoes so I am assuming it is good for
potatoes, is this true? and if so do I spread it as I get it or keep it in
its dry form or compost it?


Wood ash is wonderful for the garden, but if the wood has been treated
with fungicide (fence posts etc) don't put it around vegetables or
fruit.
