Not that ash is really worth worrying about all that much, but I've noticed (through [[losing|fun]] times, that Magma Men (probably other firebreathing things too) can create ash from plants, trees, and dwarves on the surface at least. I was running a test site to pump magma around, and a magmaman to offense and breathed fire over my workshops and haulers/crafters. The dead dwarves and vegetation became ash.--[[User:Dadamh|Dadamh]] 14:48, 2 June 2008 (EDT) | Not that ash is really worth worrying about all that much, but I've noticed (through [[losing|fun]] times, that Magma Men (probably other firebreathing things too) can create ash from plants, trees, and dwarves on the surface at least.

Stockpiling
Not that you want to keep it much... but where do I find how to store ash in the stockpile I am setting up between my wood furnace and my ashery? GarrieIrons 08:45, 5 January 2008 (EST)
Stockppile, Custom settings, enable Bars/Block, forbid Bars: Metal, Blocks, Blocks: Metal. Then toggle off coal, potash, pearlash and tallow soap, leaving ash the only allowed material.--Maska 10:22, 5 January 2008 (EST)

Using Potash
I assume that only planters apply potash to farm plots?GarrieIrons 02:49, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
Why?
How useful is potash to your farming production? Is it good enough to even bother with? I don't generally run out of food, but I guess this would allow me to use fewer seeds, fewer farmers, and less space. Also, how long does it take to fertilize crops, and does it impede actual planting? --Smartmo 18:52, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
