What do you do with your ash?

sprinkle it on the garden, around the shrubs, and trees in the yard. save some for the chickens to do a dust bath in for bugs sometimes
keep a garbage can full in case the weather gets bad and use it on the driveway for snow removal

We usually save it for the garden. However with this years continued snow cover its gone in the driveway.

Our town has a ash dropoff location.

We use it on the driveway especially with the weather this season.

We've always used it in the vegetable gardens. Spread it very thin and then work it in. Some call it Poor Man's Lime.

My ash is as, we speak, helping to melt the ice in my stone driveway.

I sprinkle it all over my yard and garden. It's beneficial when used in moderation, but too much will kill just about anything.

I sprinkle small amounts from the ash pan about the yard. best time for me is after a rain (don't have constant snow cover) or snow just in case there are any glowing ambers. Have a big mound out back where i empty the small garbage can, looks like the devls tower.

Mine goes in the barbecue pit until spring. I then spread it wherever the wife says to put it. I know very little about gardening

cool barbecue pit! Under a gazebo?

Awesome pit!

I've been spreading mine in the yard and the garden. Ash reduces acidity, and we have very acidic soil where I live. I can dump a lot of ash in the garden and it will be beneficial. If you have alkaline soil then it might not be so good.

Check your soil's PH. I use a little on the lawn and garden, but am careful to keep it away from the blueberries, raspberries, azaleas, and other acid loving plants. Mostly, I just put it in the trash for the town to haul away.

Mine gets dumped out in the hay field behind my house.

I mix it with sand and limestone and work it into little figurines which I sell to the out of state tourists . . . Sometimes I mix it in with the fudge I sell on Rt. 1.

Actually I'm like everyone else . . . before the snow comes I dump it in my garden . . . once the snow comes I dump it in a hole out back . . . and when we get so much snow that I can't get to my garden or the hole out back in the woods I use the ash on the driveway to melt the snow and ice and give me some traction as my Honda Accord sometimes has trouble getting up the slight rise in the driveway.

As for my ash disposal procedure . . . twice a week I dump the ash pan full of ash into my covered metal pail out back (which is located on a non-combustible surface located away from the house -- well right now it's pretty much buried in 4 feet of snow) . . . once the ash pan is full I then take the cool ash out and dispose it as mentioned.

My ash goes in the yard around the bottom of the pecan trees. I also put some in the garden spots each year. Real wood ash is good for that charcoal ash is not the same thing and should not be used for that purpose.

In the garden they go, but I just recently heard about throwing them on the ice and have yet to try it!
