Yes, wood ashes are good for compost. The black chunks of charcoal and the grey ashes offer to soils and soil food web members, such as plant roots, the macro-nutrients calcium, phosphorus and potassium and the micro-nutrients boron, copper, iron, manganese and zinc. Charcoal prompts compost and soil to be porous and to retain nutrients while wood ashes in general tend to increase compost and soil pH levels because of their 25 percent make-up with calcium carbonate measuring in alkaline ranges at 7.0.

Answer:

You can as long as the ash you dump has been drenched in water so you are sure the flame is completely put out. This makes sure they don't catch on fire.

Answer:

Wood ash releases alkali when it gets wet which can impair water quality and damage plant life. If the ash is to be disposed of in the woods it is best to spread it out over as wide an area as practicable.

What is the commonly used woodc ash in garden fertilizer?

Hardwoods make the best fertilizer- oak, ash, hickory, etc- but any wood ash can be used. Avoid any ash from treated lumber- much of the "green" lumber is treated with some very toxic metals you do NOT want in your tomatoes. We mix wood ash from our wood burning furnace in our compost pile (be CERTAIN that ashes are cold). The alkali from the ash helps offset the acidity of the compost.
