[QUOTE="rmcva, post: 361641, member: 5473"] That's correct. I spread N(34%) ans P(45%) seperate. I also have a lot of tobacco ground turned into pasture. The P is so high I won't have to use any for a few years on that ground. Since I started spreading ash I sample often so I don't get the PH to high. Then use to samples to apply only what's needed for the next year. I'm still learning this ash thing as I go along. I have no idea how long the PH will stay up after spreading. I've seen the results of ash test and like you said the figures show very little nitrogen. But there something in it that'll turn grass green over night when the first rain comes after spreading. It'll grow like it's had nitrogen applied for about 3 weeks and still stays green long after that. I spread some ash back in July and August. Had fields loaded with small grasshoppers. First thing I noticed was all the insects left the field as soon as the ash hit the ground. When I got to the center of the field the air was full of insects leaving as fast as they could. I remember my grand dad dusting the garden with wood ash from the wood stove. [/QUOTE]
