2013年1月13日 · I ran across an interesting website that describes the general elemental content of wood ash -- according to the U of Maine it's in the ballpark of 20% calcium, less than 2% phosphorous and 4% potassium -- pretty mild stuff compared to the average 10-10-10 (nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium) fertilizer.
