Can you please refresh my memory about putting wood ash on the garden? Hubby has been doing it all winter. But there was one area he was not supposed to hit. Was it asparagus? We have the high nitrogen soil, great for above ground veggies but not good for root crops. Thanks!
Sorry I missed this, yesterday!
Wood Ash: Is best added to your compost pile. However, directly on the garden, the application should be LIGHT (don’t be piling an inch or two on the soil) and is full of lime and potassium, so plant accordingly.
It’s a good slug deterrent, and good for any acid-loving plants like blueberries and azaleas and evergreens.
Here’s the skinny from UW Hort:
