I have some wood ashes available and have

I'd be interested in hearing from people
who use them and experiences or cautions.

What I have read so far says to not
overdo it keeping the application rate
for one time shot at 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
They won't be in direct contact with
plants at all, I'm mixing them in some
shredded bark/wood and then putting
several inches of heavy soil over them.

I can put plenty more down deeper if it
would really help the soil conditions and
nutrients, but I also don't want to waste
them.

Thanks!

Having acidic soil I had a 5 gallon metal bucket for them and when full
would sprinkle them on the back lawn. Never caused any harm.
