Wood Ash is produced from the combustion of clean wood and bark to produce electricity. The resulting product is a agricultural soil amendment ideal for balancing soil pH and enhancing nutrient levels. Wood Ash contains significant amounts of magnesium, potassium and many other micronutrients important to healthy crop growth. Since 1983, Wood Ash has been chosen by farmers to increase soil pH, improve soil fertility and increase crop yield. Wood Ash is easily applied with conventional lime or manure spreading equipment.
