    I have to metal grain buckets, I think, that are about 10 gallon each. When both are full I dump the first for the trash man so I can fill it up again and repeat. I'm pretty sure they are cool and dead after a couple of weeks sitting. With lots of snow I may throw them around the yard once or twice.

    Ashes go on the garden or on a field.

    It is usually called a poor man's lime.
