The product to enhance soils and crops

Wood ash has been used by farmers to improve soil and crop production for centuries. However, wood ash was not available as a commodity for large-scale use until the 1980s when several wood-fired electrical-generating power plants were built throughout the Northeast. The benefits of these wood-fired power plants were two-fold: the production of local, clean, renewable energy, and the other product generated - organic wood ash.

Wood ash is an organic fertilizer unique to New England – a heritage product essential for any serious farmer or gardener.

Why use wood ash?

Wood ash is the perfect product for Northeastern soils. It is an organic fertilizer with the added benefit of fast-acting liming. Great for spring and fall use.

• Farmers - For the past 15 years farmers have enjoyed the benefits of using this commercial-grade wood ash to sweeten their fields and improve their crops. Wood ash naturally improves soil pH and provides essential nutrients like potassium, magnesium, and zinc. For farmers, wood ash has become a cornerstone of soil fertility.
• Topsoil purveyors add commercial-grade wood ash to their loam to ensure proper soil pH, and to achieve a rich, dark color. By adding wood ash to loam, the enhanced topsoil can be sold for a premium price and guarantees topnotch performance.
• Compost facilities use commercial-grade wood ash to take care of odors. The carbon in wood ash is highly effective in eliminating odors generated through the composting and curing processes. Wood ash is an excellent agent for controlling odors from any putrescible organic wastes.
• Home gardeners – For lawns and gardens, wood ash is the ideal choice. Vegetables, flowers, shrubs, trees and bushes flourish with wood ash. Helps during transplanting and new seedings. Best for plants and shrubs that flourish in a neutral soil pH.
