Beware that ash makes the soil acidic and can limit the absorption of nutrients.
But ash is alkaline, it neutralizes acids in the soil?

- wood-ash is beneficial to many soils due to its inherent acid-neutralizing capabilities. However, wood ash has several ecosystem-perturbing effects like increased soil pH and pore water electrical conductivity both known to strongly impact soil bacterial numbers and community composition.

I was wrong, ash increases ph. So the soil becomes less acidic.
