Re: ashes on garden
I also burn on the garden every fall and put my fireplace ashes on the garden. I read the article and I know what it says, but I am sure the plants on my burn pile spot are bigger than the other spots.

Re: ashes on garden
Matt,
It all depends on whether you are starting with an acidic or basic soil. That's why a soil test is so important.

Re: ashes on garden
My folks burned a brush pile to sterilize the soil before planting tobacco and tomato plants for transplant.
Best,

Re: ashes on garden
I believe if you spread about 1 cup of ashes around a newly set tomato plant the quick acting calcium helps to ward off end blossom rot. Keep the ashes about 4 inches away from the base of the plant. Greg

Bone meal also works quite well although nothing will stop it completely. There is also a trace element which if lacking makes the plant unable to take up calcium resulting in the same problem. Can't think of it of course. Peppers same as tomatos. Vern
