Best to have a light application only in autumn. The only other time to use them is after PH tewting so that you know it won't be too much alkaline effect on the soil. i always want to use them more for slugs but am alwys hesitant because of the alkaline effect.

Is it safe to uses wood ashes on Roses.I'm planting Roses and have heard that it helps.

ashes are water soluble and will raise the ph level quickly if over application occurs. A slight dusting once a year should do no damage and will raise potassium levels etc. Be careful on soils that are already have a high lime content!!

Coal ahses are not good for the soil and woodashes should be added sparingly - a sprinkle as Palma suggests - too much wood ash is also not good for the soil.

If you have a fireplace or wood stove, take your ashes and put them around your plants. Your plants will grow better, and less or no weeds will grow there.
