I've used then for years. They are hogh in potash, which is necessary for
storng stems & bloom. Using the ashes (I apply a light coating once or twice
per area, during the winter) I find the soil is not as compacted, even
during a drought. It's easier to dig, & I ssem to get a lot of nice blooms.
the blues of blooms like hyacinth & violet appear to be bluer. I have
noticed no damage, & there has been no sign of any significant altering of
the existing Ph.
