Best Answer

Ash supplies potash, an essential plant nutrient. Ash is good for acidic soils not for alkaline soils. Forest soils are usually acidic. Some plants do well in acidic soils others do well in alkaline soils. Figure out what soil you have and what you plan to plant and look up to see what they like.
