Yard Waste Burn Pile Ashes, Can They Be Used In Gardens Or Yard?

Question

I have a burn pile we use to burn yard waste, tree limbs, weeds, etc. After several years it has mounded up and I was wanting to know if these ashes could be used in a garden or in the yard?

Answer 1

I would compost them, first. This will prevent pH swings, and burns.
