Would ashes from my wood burning stove be bad tilled into my vegetable garden soil?

The garden final takes some sort of shape – the compost heap goes to the back wall where it’s going to stay, the concrete slap is broken up and shifted out, the flower beds down the south fence starts to fill with soil, and the earth montain is nicely coming down in size. Both fences are treated and the base of the south fence is whitewashed.

yes as long as you don’t burn anything but wood in their. It should just be normal wood ash and thats good for your soil.

Wood ashes contain a little potash which is good for garden soil, however they are highly alkaline so use very small amounts unless you want to raise the pH of your soil.
