Because of the alkalinity of the ashes, I add them directly to the garden rather than the to compost pile, as I had read not to add lime or ash to compost. I'm anxious to hear what the experts have to say on this one, too, as we save up the ash in containers until the few times/year that we can spread it in the garden but we're continually adding stuff to the compost pile so it'd be a lot easier to put it there.
