Default wood ashes

i have some wood ashes available and have
been reading up on the best ways to use them.

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!
