Sorry, I can't help on the PH but you should see an improvement in the plants you spread this on.

Wood ash is usually very alkaline. Excellent in acid soil but neutral or above soil it probably shouldn't be used.

Thank's Bob... I can use a little higher PH so no problem

I'm thinking beets and root crops like wood ash, but I better go look that up. Yes, but not potatoes or blueberry bushes.
