[Digestion] Wood ash as Substrate

[Frank Shields]

Prabhu, 

 

There should not be much available carbon from wood ash. It may contain
carbonates and oxides that increase and buffer the pH value if that helps.
It may contain a site for microbes to establish themselves and stay in
suspension. It may provide trace elements and/or nutrients that will help if
they are limiting factors. That's how I look at it.

   Can wood ash can be used as a carbon source for digestion ? 

Thanks
