Slow1: It might work but sounds like a lot depending on what you put in there. If it is sandy it will work but good black dirt needs very little if any.
Got Wood: The rotary spreaders might work. I've never tried it. But I'm thinking it would not work too great. The ashes might plug up; might not fall down to the bottom too great. Give it a try and let us know if it does a good job or not.
sixman: We have just thrown ashes like that but found it works better to spread them in the spring and get them spread more evenly.
SteveKG. Our experience with the cheap ph testers show they are junk. You are right in that most folks don't put that much ash on so it won't change the ph a lot so why worry. On the chicken manure, that is hot stuff! To give you an example, when we spread cow manure and chicken manure, the chicken manure goes on at about 1/4 (or less) as heavy as cow manure. Horse manure should sit in a pile for a year before spreading.
And finally, if we ever teach Jake how to split wood, that day will be declared a National Holiday for sure! But my wife says his head is about as hard as hickory! :lol: ;-)
