Hardwood Ash
The grey-white ash left when clean hardwood burns completely is the starting point for lye and soap, potash, ash glazes and nixtamal, and a garden lime. Its largest part is calcium carbonate, with potassium salts, and it is alkaline: wet ash stings the skin.
Only clean wood: never painted, treated, glued or mixed with rubbish. How much ash a load of wood gives varies with the species and how much bark is on it, so weigh both and find out.

Burn it down
Light a fire in a clean fire pit with tinder and kindling, and feed it the weighed logs. Keep it burning until no black charcoal is left, only grey-white ash.

Cool it in metal
Cool it in metal
Shovel the ash into a metal bucket with a lid and stand it on bare ground, at least 3 m from any building. Leave it at least 3 days: ash hides embers that stay hot for days.

Keep it dry
Keep it dry
Store it in the lidded metal bucket in a dry place. Damp ash cakes, and rain washes the potassium out of it.
