Title: wood ash
Post by: Rox on June 23, 2005, 16:30:13
hi everyone! I have a substantial amount of wood ash I still haven't cleared from my fireplace  ::)  instead of putting it in my compost bin, I'm wondering if I could work it into my two raised beds to improve the soil where I will be planting out my runner beans?  thanks!  :)
