Wood Ash
Hugh_Jones:
As Tim says, it is short lived, so don`t use more than is needed for a particular crop. Also please bear in mind that wood ash contains varying amounts of calcium (depending on the actual material burned), so wiser not to use it on the potatoes - use it as a top dressing on peas and beans just before flowering, and onions once the bulbs start to expand.
cleo:
I have heard somewhere that cooking apples like wood ash.
