I've heard master gardeners discourage the use of ashes in composting and gardening. *At the same time, I ran a wood furnace for years, and added all the ashes to my compost pile. *When the proportion of ash to grass clippings and leaves is very low, you shouldn't have a problem. If ash comes up as a noticeable percentage of the composted material, consider using it on icy sidewalks rather than in your compost. Or spread them over your lawn in a thin layer. *Ash is minerals and too valuable to send to the dump. We don't have tons of ash, just from our fireplace and outdoor fire-bin when we burn anything that may be diseased.. We have a woodburner, all the ash goes on the garden. We have done this for years and I don't see a problem. Judith |
