Neutralize Wood Ash for the Garden

In response to those who drone on about the risks of applying wood ash to neutral or alkaline soils, I made a quick video to put my spin on the issue. At the recommended rates of application, the dangers of wood ash are greatly overstated IMO, and are easily counteracted by a small application of acidifying elemental sulfur. Elemental sulfur is inexpensive (around $25 for a 50lb bag last I looked) and widely available. For those who may take me to task for recommending a soil amendment without soil tests, I'll say only this: keep it in context - we're talking about a light application of wood ash and sulfur over a large area. In comparison to the wood ash ending up in the landfill, I think it's a decent compromise.

If you find these videos useful, there are a few little things you can do to help me out:
