doing a bit of research through the hot part of the day. I believed wood ash from my fire place would be good as fertilizer, and I wanted to remember why. got it now. potassium salts - OK. but when reading one post, I get the WARNING LABEL crapola, and it was so funny, I wanted to share. "The ashes contain a good amount of lye which is a caustic agent. For this reason, refrain from placing them on young tender plants. Wear gloves when handling the ashes. Use a mask to avoid breathing in the residue and protect your eyes with sunglasses or goggles." of course, they USED TO make SOAP out of lye....... avoid contact with soap until we confirm that it is SAFE.
