What to do with ashes ?

[barneypoo69]

Sorry, but I tried to do a search about ash.
My question, it would seem fine to spread the ash from a side-fire box over the lawn. There isn't anything in it but just burned charcoal & wood.
Wouldn't this be good for our yard ?
Just wondering.

That's what I do with my small amounts.

If I am doing a lot of smokes I keep them in a can and haul them out back.
Not sure how much ash is too much ash.

Now I have heard and heard only that it is good for your compost bin or pile. Now some fruit trees I believe that folks add some ash to but I really not sure.

I just throw em in my green bin, along with the rest of my kitchen waste.

I toss them in the trash can.

I dump them almost anywhere.....Flower beds, back yard, garden etc.

I have a flowerless bed, which is to say, I have dirt. I dump them there & turn the dirt.

I hope that when I am Q'ed at the end, my ashes will be spread on the Sacramento River. Whoops, do you mean from cooking? I use some for my compost barrel and the rest I recycle in my green waste.

Wood ash can be placed in the garden, lawn, etc. but it does act as a liming agent so plants that like an acidic environment would not appreciate the ash (azaleas, blueberries, etc.) Never leave it clumped up around plants or on the lawn because it will burn it.

I put mine in the bushes, not on the lawn, in hopes to kill the poison ivy.

Exactly the same thing I do.

I save it in a 55 gal drum cut in half, then I have my son "dig for treasure" when the excavation gets to be too big I dump the ashes in there and have him start in a new area. Works pretty good and keeps him busy!
