  • Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2006 17:29:23 -0500

Anyone have any idea of a rule of thumb for what rate (in inches) (oak) wood ashes can be added to a raised bed? I'm thinking at about 20% of the top 6 inches which would be, what, about 1 inch(?) and is probably the maximum application rate Any suggestions for a rate of sulphur incorporation (in inches) to restrict pH change when that much ash is added?
