Wood burning

Brexiteer

Last week I burnt a lot of wood and a conifer and I was wondering if the ash minus the nails could be used around the garden. I'm 99% sure it's no but just checking. Oh and a small amount of the wood was emulsioned. Probably crazy but you never know

I only ever put bonfire ash in the compost and mix it it, as the emulsion is water based I don’t suppose it will hurt.

Thank you Lyn. Say hello to me mother if you see her she on holiday in Devon at the minute 😂😂

I used to put ash around the garden but it looked ugly and was messy so I don't now, but sometimes I put some in the compost, like Lyn.

All our wood ash from the log burner and from garden bonfires gets mixed into the compost heaps.

I certainly will, if she’s in Morrison or tesco I may bump into her😀. (If she’s not been blown away in the gales)

I might bump into her if she's in Waitrose. I'd not set foot inside Tesco, ever!!

Neither do I, they deliver it for me.

Every once in a while, a small heap of ash appears in a flower bed at the park where I'm a volunteer.  We assume it's the mortal remains of some flatdweller's beloved pet.  It doesn't seem to do any harm to the plants.
