Ashes

[beerwizza]

What do you do with your ashes. Use them around plants, gardens? Dispose in the trash? Dump them in your neighbors yard?? Just curious.

Our go right into my wife's flowerbeds. or if they might still be warm, I have a hole behind my garage that is slowly getting filled

 

[Shane]

Into my ash vac and into the garbage.

i take mine out and mix into the compost with raked leaves and such , grass clippings etc. i use this compost for my flower gardens. roses seem to like ash from the stove , it should be noted though that just ash by itself tends to harden and not let moisture through by itself , so mix it with peat or potting soil or somthing like that to allow it to be porous before using around roses or other bushes which like a lot of water

 

[tinkabranc]

Into the garden and flowerbeds here

under the sofa cushions. but not until they've cooled down of course.

I've been waiting for windy days and just toss it up in the air and then let out a sinister laugh as the ash plume blows towards my neighbor's house

I save them for the next time I go up in a Cessna......no, wait....that's another subject.

 

[Kenny1]

I just dump them on the compost pile.

They are also great for spreading on your slick and snowy driveway for traction. As an added benefit, with the ashes being dark in color, it helps to melt that snow as well. Not wanting to use anything salt related on my concrete, the ashes come in very handy!

I wait till after a good rain storm...then I blow them onto my neighbors BMW.

 

[Xena]

Doesn't the ash change the ph of the soil?

[requin]

Are you suppose to take them out of the stove? I was told at Lowes that you just need to keep pellets in the hopper. The 18 yr old employee did not mention any type of cleaning.
