Does anyone know if the ash left over from your fire is good for your garden? I sifted through mine the other day and mixed it in with the soil for my cucumber bed. Any thoughts?

I dump my woodstove and cookstove ash in my gardens. Always have. Good source of potassium and phosphorus.

I have heard that this is good for some plants and not for others? I have put it on mine the last couple yrs and everything has done well.
I have dumped ash in the garden for years.
