davew Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Now here’s a thought, all the ash what to do with it or just bin it, well plastic bag issue got me thinks Lump wood, bricks, leaves, chunks of general wood etc all the normal leftovers I run all through a colander, and a bit of ash, maybe ½ a teacup and very small black chippings, guess could run that through a fine sieve to catch these bits, and reuse what I can What to do with it, any ideas?

U can do that again Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 We let ours cool and then add it to the composter, to be used on the garden when ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adventuredon Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I add it to my compost as well as using the little bits for drainage in my pot plants (summer mainly) but the ash also gets put into my large potting bucket and mixed in with soil. Reduces the acidity of soil (think limestone/chalk etc). Burnt bits also deter snails in the borders as they hate the edges. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Dumb question but do you need to mix it into the soil or just throw it on top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been putting in two liter bottle with half water, when gets a bit thick add water to pour out Get some soil and mix and replace and water in, i guess if you water in its the same One tip, I guess lumps wont hurt as is burnt wood after all, thou i watch all mine through a collider to save old coals that i can re-burn etc so its all fine and dust really No idea if it does any good but cant harm and easier to get rid off Now - i just funnel into 1 litre plastic bottle add water and pour on to the plants - easy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
