We burn bones as well to liberate the calcium and phosphorus. Makes them fragile like porcelain. We just spread them as is, after a few whacks from a shovel, as we need the increased pH. Letting rodents chew on them will also break them down. I’ve often wondered if other seashells are worth burning.
The oyster shell mix in this video goes on the leaves as a fertilizer in the growth phases. I've never made wood ash. It's on my list on things I'd like to try.
@@peopleoftheplants it's easy as collecting ash that hasn't been exposed to water. The soda ash is water soluble. If I remember correctly you fill a tub with water and ash. The soda ash crystals sink so you drain off the top. I believe you can transform it into another thing if cooked after.

Thank you for sharing that. I’ll give bones a try too.
Never heard about burning but then it is double down using wood cuz you get wood ash too

I throw bones and egg shells into my wood stove and chuck the ash on the garden.
Legacy soil.
