Default Re: Have you heard of this!

Your grandma's success was more likely due to the potash in the fireplace/grill ashes. It does take a year or more to break down and be consumed by plants, so don't expect instant success. But if grandma was applying them year after year, I'm sure in the long run she had happy harvests.
