With all due respect to RM, I tried it and won"t again. I compost (low temp) between my raised beds. Not unlike sheet composting in your actual beds. Thinking I"d get some mineral benefit I added woodstove ash last year. This spring, as usual, I shoveled the compost into the beds. Big surprise, no worms in the compost for the first time. Didn"t test, but my guess is a ph problem. Whatever it was, the lack of worms told me that I wan"t getting the same quality of compost as I had in previous years. I"m back to ash-less.

I"m very close to achieving permaculture, no seeding or transplanting necessary. For mineral replacement I"ve gone to adding some subsoil to my compost.
