Put the ash around your garden beds it stops Slugs & Snails or mix it with water to make a paste and use it as polish for something, but I cant remember what.

If it is just wood ash then you can use a fair bit, I have an allotment and have mixed it in however you can have too much potash. Is it just wood or multi fuel as coal ash can add too much sulphur and other undesirable stuff in it.

wood ash

Provided it is just wood and not coal

and making sure you haven't burned any tanalised wood in there ( as the arsenic apparently accumulates in the ash) is great as a cleaner/ fertiliser (potash)/ slug repellant
