Fireplace ashes

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Thanks everyone on the mulch answers that you provided me with.  I have
another question now about the ashes from burning wood in your
fireplace.  This is the first year I've used real wood for the
fireplace, so now I have all of these ashes.  

Does it provide any benefit to my garden or compost pile to use 	these
ashes in these ways?  

Are there any negatives to using fireplace ashes?  

I think I remember from somewhere that fireplace ashes are very
alkaline.  Does anyone know if this is true?  If so, maybe I shouldn't
use them, since the ph of my soil is fairly alkaline, around 7.8 to 8.0.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks for all your help once again.
