Wood ash has been used for centuries..again like anything else moderation and need are the two important things. Here is an excellent website with Wood Ash information. It will change your PH alot and is very soluble.

P.S.
If done properly wood ash is alot better than lime..It has all kinds of nutrients and micronutrients.
