Hi, I have a good bit of fireplace ash from an indoor wood burning fireplace and am wondering if this is a useful resource for fertilizing or composting. Can anyone advise?

Use it very sparingly over food gardens. You can easily poison your soil if
you put too much out
and it takes years to correct this imbalance. A farmer nearby ruined his
garden by doing this.
