Not going to TOUCH that one

Depends on how lazy I am and how cold it is. Basement toilet works when it is REALLY cold out, otherwise on the pines or in the garden or lawn. Never had an issue growing things after doing so?

Wood ashes actually work kinda like lime, and supposedly are good for the lawn. Here's an article i saw:

So, I should save them in a bin and put them in my spreader next spring? Cool!

Haha!!, you'd look like PigPen from the peanuts cartoons, all that dust following you!!

I put mine in a stainless steel tin that I keep near the stove; once that is full (and all ashes are cool) they go into a 40# plastic kitty litter container and get put out with the trash. I have only had to put out 3 or 4 containers of ash last year.... about one 40# container per ton....

Mine gets put into the compost.....

That would be after you used all the Maine Woods pellets on the walkway first...they are best pellet for slick walkways.

in a metal can in the back yard then in the spring spread it around the grass. makes the grass really green.

Wow, I was just going to drop them in the trash... Must try the grass and garden ideas.

We have compost piles we dump all kinds of things into. They are currently about four feet high and cooking. In the spring the piles get broken down into some raised beds and we plant squash in them. The bins are made of pellet pallets and the raised beds we dump the compost piles in in the spring are made from downed trees on the lot. All of our vegetables get grown in raised beds. We have several years supply of downed trees to provide framing for the beds.

Man I hope you don't have a septic system!

;-) On the stuff that makes me slip in the winter.

I have a brother-inlaw who works in his hometown Funeral Home ...give him a bucket full every other month ...says he uses them in his garden, but I know the furnace is broke! JK

You aren't really suggesting what I think you are...?

In the fower beds for me.

Wow those pumpkins are huge .

I fling the ash pan up in the air and let the wind scatter them across the pasture.

Mother in-laws driveway she still has not figured out the issue with the stain in the driveway!

:lol: :lol:

I guess I am just thankful that I don't live somewhere that I have to drive my ashes to a transfer station.

Compost pile with the grass and leave clippings...I'ed like to throw them in the lazy neighbors garbage pails he never brings in...
