Ash disposal?

What do you all do with the ash from your wood burners?

Ashes?

Onto the corner of the road when it is really slippery or else into the ditch.

Used to put them in the garden, don't have one any more!

 

I'm thinking of rigging a powerful fan with a feeder that I can dump my ashes into and blow them at my POS neighbors across the street when they're here.during the summer.

 

I save mine for Ash Wednesday.........................

 

Fill some water balloons with ashes...get one of those big water balloon launcher sling shot thingys...and a windy day...

 

Goes in the dumpster at work...

 

My neighbor gets mine for his long gravel driveway.

 

I have way too much for my tiny garden. And my lawn is basically non existent due to all the shade. Maybe I can give them away on Craigslist

And if you call now, we'll double your order. Just pay separate S&H

 

Mine on on the lawn or in the garden. Good alternative to lime.

 

Put mine on the driveway.
Provides traction, and when the sun decides to visit, it helps to melt away the ice.

 

I do the same, i also need to keep the 1st 3feet of my street along the property snow free (we hardly ever get some) i use the ash there instead of salt. to prevent people from slipping and sliding.

 

I get all my wood from the neighbor's properties , so I give them the ashes back...
Seems fair, right?

 

In the Fall I dig a hole and all winter I throw them in the Ash hole!

 

Does he know your putting them there ????.....................

 

Mine get spread out in the garden.
There's a couple of carbonates in wood ash that are alkaline that are supposed to be good for soil, reducing acidity.
Plus a little pot ash or potassium .
Seems to me it doesn't take much rain to wash it out.
I spread it out and don't dump it in one big concentrated pile.

 

Into the garden. Ash is an awesome natural fertilizer for gardens. Long before people were buying bags of commercial fertilizers they were dumping their ash into their gardens. Just think about it...all the minerals and nutrients in trees aren't all burned away in fire, a lot of the nutrients those trees pulled from the ground while they grew are left over in their ashes.

Definitely a perfect use for them if you ask me.

 

Years ago, at least on smaller farms, you'd see them burning big piles of brush mostly to get the ash salts to spread on the fields for cheap fertilizers. You don't see it a lot in this country any more in part because of burn bans, but if you fly a lot you see this still happening all around the world.
