The sodium content of woodash can be quite high. In greenhouse beds,
this can be a tremendous problem quite quickly. Outside in a
heavy-rainfall area such as Connecticut, you can get away with a fair
bit before it becomes a problem. But watch for it. A good soil lab such
as A&L can test for sodium--this is probably worthwhile if you plan on
using a lot of it.
