Bonfire ash

[Essexboy]

Can I use bonfire ashes on my plot ? Should I let it weather first
Comments please.

Really depends what was burnt on the fire

If wood ash then yes. Just put a load around my apple tree

Loads of threads about using Wood ash in the garden, like this https://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gr...ash_85996.html

However, if you're burning all sorts of junk in your bonfire, the advice may be completely different.

Untreated Wood - Yes
Treated / Painted Wood / Mixed Material (Plastics/ MDF / Chipboards etc) - No

just curious, in south africa they have a tree/wood called tambotie it has a sap that is toxic and the ash is also toxic, any such beasties in the uk?

Not a tree, but I'd go nowhere near giant hog weed. Burns your skin with the sap. One for the blow torch / Weed burner. Kill (burn) on sight
