I'd go easy on putting them around the evergreens......
Ashes will raise soil PH by 1 point when spread out in a nice even thin layer.
Evergreens are an acid loving tree. You will over sweeten them with too much ashes.
I put mine in my garden all winter. I try to spread them out so as to cover it all by the end of the burning season. (100' x 40' garden)
If I end up with more than I need for the garden, I then spread them on the lawns.
If you compost, put them in the compost pile.
Good info. I toss them on the lawn all winter, works like lime. Also pears, grapes and liliacs love them.
