I Know that ashes supposed to have some feeding, I have few big raised beds that got planting soil (and snow) and now empty from plants so I just add all the ashes from the fire on top- what is the limit?
Is it good ? do you do that?
planning to have more veg there, are there vegetables that will enjoy it more?
