Ashes in compost

Question

I read about using wood ash in compost and as a pest deterrent in the garden in small quantities on the website. I was wondering about different kinds of ash from softer bush type plants and also yucca leaves. Can I use them in my compost and garden safely? Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Yes, as long the these plant materials are healthy (no disease or pest issues), then it should be fine to use them in your compost.
