Most of the time he jast iie<‘dles me. Now he wants to know why I nev er mention wood ashes in my column as a fertilizor and soil conditianer. The power of suggJSi- tlon may be hLs own naive meth od of getiting Ills quwUons an- swt'rod. Come to tliink of it, though, his Idea may be a good on'e because I had to do a .mite of reseatch, all of whiuh was confusing, as tlie analys<.‘s vary so mucli. So this will be mastlv about about. Wood ashes contain about 45‘.i calcium carbonate (a form of lime), about .'5-10'. potiLsh and a bout 2'/fi phuspliorous. You can mHi that they do have some fer- tiliz(‘r value because two of the major plant fotxl eloment.s (P&K) are present; only nitrogen (Ni Ls absent. This element can be easi ly supplitHl as a side dressing. The kind of wood used in tiie fire place, whether hard or -soft, will also affecl the analysts. ' In addition to the ijotasli, phos-: phorous and lime, there are also- present some of the minor or c.'-ace ehwnents such as iron, man- i gane.se and olhere. Wood a.shes should be coUerded and storrnl in a dry place until! ready for use. If they are piled’ outside and exposed to the weath er they will lose much of their nutrient •v-’alue duo to Jeaehing by' rainwater. If you do not have I Resunection Services Set Rev.

We should consider wood aslusi as (1 supplement to rather than a substitute for the regular fer tilizer program. This waste from I lie burning process is esjieclaliy good for the root and bulb crops, fruit trees and grapevines. It may als<j bo used in the armual and perennial flower beds. I would go easy on azaleas, camellias, rho dodendrons and blueberries be- caus«t of the relatively higli cal cium content, wliich may raise ttie soil pH too high. These plants like an acid soil leacrtion. H.>w much to use*? About one gocxl shovelful per square yard of soil area. Mix well wUh the .soil or work in as you would fcT+iliz- er. If you want to do a little expcTi- menting try this in your vegeta ble garden or flower bed. Use only wofxi ashes and top or side dress with nitrate of soda accord ing to the nc^ds of the plants you select Sedg^' Bites Conducted I BOSTIC — Bt'auford C. Scoggins. ; 35, of Rt. 2, died Sunday.
