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

We store our ashes in a big can, and then when I need them, I add 
them.  I do add some to the compost pile, but I do it in moderation, 
and I was told that they are nitrogen deficient, and not too much 
should be added at one time.  I kept alot of the ashes because I 
had a big problem with cuke beetles and squash bugs last year. I 
was told that the ashes can help as a deterrent, so am going to try 
that this year.
