At a loss as to what to do with ashes from your fireplace or woodstove? Share the Harvest Farm has an answer.

On Jan. 21, the farm will accept wood ash, also known as potash, between 1 and 4 p.m. The ash, a source of calcium, potassium, and phosphorous, can be used to enrich the soil and raise its pH.

The farm asks that people take only ash "that has not been exposed to fuel or fire starter logs with wood preservatives."
