Is wood ash good for fruit trees or did I make that up ?
If it is good how do I use it? Just scatter it around the base of the trees?

I put some in the compost bin and scatter the rest around the fruit bushes............but having read the RHS article maybe I shouldn't do that!

I have'nt read veggies link but I believe, as well as being high in pottasium it is very alkaline and I use it instead of lime on brassica beds.

That was a very interesting read. After reading that. I’ll be adding it to my compost. Not put it around my fruit trees.

Me too ![Blush Blush](https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/blush.png) I've also been sprinkling it around raspberries and apple trees.

If you want to make soap you could use the lye made from woodash for that!
