How do you use wood ash on the garden.

We have a wood stove and are also collecting the ash, but didn’t know where to dump it.

If it can be used in the garden, all the better. But doesn’t it make the soil more alkaline?

Yes it raises the pH but I have acidic soil so it would be fine for me. It’s only short term. Doesn’t last three years like lime. Compost and more compost is best for any soil type in the long run, if you have the stuff to make your own.
