Ashes as Fertilizer and Garden Aid Across Europe and America
Experiments show leached ashes work as well as unleached for household and garden use. Exposed ashes absorb carbonic acid, improving fertilizing value. Ashes from different woods vary in value, with beech and ork among the most variable. Gardens benefit from spreading ashes over soil, around fruit trees, and in composts for roses and cucumbers. Ashes supply potash for vines and melons, supporting growth in drought.

It emphasizes a standard rate of 2.5 mph for testing.
