anybody know?

anybody know?

my grandpa swears it is one of the things that make his fig trees so beautiful; so i take out the big leftover chunks and dump the rest into my compost pile.... it cant hurt in small quantities, so just start experimenting... i think it is pretty acidic, so i wouldnt mix it directly into soil to plant in.

found this article about it

cant reall tell if its sayin that the ash's npk is 10-10-10 or if something else is
