Mr Flum is a pyromaniac (sorry, likes to burn the prunings!) - he uses a dustbin type incinerator in late autumn and/or early spring. I always request that he use part of the veg plot. When it's done (and cool) I rake the ash into that part of the plot. We're working our way around! I have no evidence that it's improving anything (nothing to compare with) but I do feel that it helps with sterilisation and potash levels.
Usually get good pumpkins too, but I'm not up for the biggest - just for 'big enough for a dinner' sized.
